Real marshmallows don't contain any animal products at all. They are very pricey however and generally only found in high end shops. They are actually made from the marshmallow plant (yes a real plant) and the coagulation is from the natural components of the plant.
"Marshmallows" we see at most grocery stores do not contain any of the real plant extracts and require gelatin or augar to gel up. Depending on brand they can be completely vegan or not. You have to just read the ingrediant list and/or contant the company to be sure.

Geez, I'm not even a vegetarian and I know that marshmallows contain gelatin which is derived from animal bones. Yes yhey do mak vegan marshmallows but the are very different from say, Kraft marshmallows and I must warn you that you may be disappointed. This link here is the one brand I have tried and I didn't really like them. But they do exist. http://www.veganstore.com/index-store.html?deptid=17125&parentid=45&stocknumber=850&page=2&itemsperpage=12

An online store called Pangea.com has them but keep in mind that they are pretty different then regular marshmallows. There is a product called Marshmallow Fluff that has no gelatin and that is sold in stores.

My 12 year old daughter doesn't eat pork by choice. So when she went on a school camp trip we found kosher marshmallows (the gelatin was kosher) that would be the closest. Look on line in health food sites. I order alot of health food stuff on line, We eat organic (anything packaged like crackers, cookies stuff like that) and there is lots online.

Marshmallows don't need to eat so it would be impossible for them to be vegetarian or otherwise.

Its also a good idea to look around your community - most 7th Day Adventist churches have a natural/organic vegan market inside them that are open to the public. They usually carry lots of treats you'd otherwise have to mailorder away from. I'd check there before purchasing online because you wont have to wait so long!

www.veganessentials.com Sometimes they have them. Mail order. If you live near Wholefoods, there is a Tiny Trapeze brand that sometimes have a vegan version (clearly marked as vegan on the package). Trouble is the Tiny Trapeze is $6/package. Ouch!

according to the other ansers on here they are available, but you can also look for marshmallow creme (in a jar) that doesn't contain geletin. It's pretty common at most grocery stores.

They do, but are extremely hard to find, try vegetarian shops, and if they dont stock, you will have to try the internet.
