The Food Network’s Unwrapped recently featured New York based Sweet and Sara, a company that makes vegan marshmallows, smores and other desserts.

Unwrapped gives the behind the scenes look at how some foods are created.

The crew at Sweet and Sara is all about putting the ingredient of TLC into their products. No machine manufactured smores are coming from this company.

“Our smores are made entirely from scratch,” said Sara Sohn, founder of Sweet & Sara.  “We hand scoop every graham cookie, we weigh out every marshmallow filling, we handcoat every s’more with chocolate, no mass production, no industrial equipment.”

Sweet and Sara peanut butter smores were featured on Rachael Ray.

Watch the clip for some sinfully delicious food voyeurism into the Sweet and Sara facility.
