I want to make some small baby decorations (rattle, pacifier etc..) for a baby shower cake I'm doing and I thought it would be fun to experiment with rice krispie treats - However I would like to make them vegan since many of the people attending the shower are vegan (marshmellow isn't vegan). I have been able to find a few vegan rice krispie treat recipes but I'm not sure how well they would work in terms of molding. Has anyone had any experience with this?
haha well I see everyone knows as much about this as I do 
I'm going to try this recipe and I'll let everyone know how it works out!

I don't make a whole lot of rice krispy treats, but I heard from one of the TV cake shows that when they make rice krispies to be used for 3D molding, they don't include butter, only marshmallows. I have seen vegan marshmallows at Whole Foods. So maybe you can just use a regular recipe and just use vegan marshmallows?
P.S. Another tip I got was to crush the rice krispys before adding the melted marshmallows to get a smoother surface on your sculptures!
We sell vegan RKTs as standalone products, we just use corn syrup and vegan margarine instead of marshmallows and butter. It should be OK for molding, we've never tried though.
Here is one recipe:

Just keep in mind that like marshmallow, not all sugar is vegan. Only mention this because you do not identify what kind of sugar you use in this recipe.

Very true. Cane sugar (which is processed with animal bone char) is one of those ingredients (like honey) that some vegans eat and some don't. Beet sugar is a pure vegan alternative.
I also know a few vegans and they wouldn't touch corn syrup because it's mainly from GMO corn. I have no idea if there is organic corn syrup out there that would be GMO free. It isn't an animal issue as much as a ethical issue.

I've never heard that one before (we've never had a specific request for non-GMO ingredients) but you can buy organic corn syrup. Rice syrup is also available as an alternative, although we haven't used it.
