"Because they’re often made with gelatin that contains animal byproducts — especially pork — marshmallows can be a minefield for those trying to keep halal; they either need to be made vegetarian or with gelatin made from animals killed in a halal manner. Luckily, Pilsen-based chocolatier Uzma Sharif makes halal marshmallows that can accompany her rich hot sipping chocolate or be used with her chocolate bars in s’mores. Keep an eye out for seasonal varieties, like peppermint marshmallows." - Nylah Iqbal Muhammad
