Ingredient Choices and Substitutions
I used the Tesco Free From Chocco Snaps, but most supermarket own brand options are suitable for gluten free and vegan diets. As for the marshmallows, I chopped some M&S Plant Kitchen marshmallows as a cheaper option than buying vegan mini marshmallows.
How to store and keep
Store in an airtight container away from direct sunlight and they should keep for 7+ days. There’s no need to refrigerate them unless you have nowhere cool to store them.
