Vegan Candy To Cure Your Sugar Cravings
Looking for some vegan candy?Unfortunately, a good amount of candy is often made with some type of animal ingredients.
The most common ones are gelatin (made from animal bones and tendons), milkfat, eggs, carmine (or Natural Red 4, made from beetles), rennet (enzyme from cow stomachs), pepsin (another stomach enzyme), lard (pig fat), E 904, E 120, 901, 904, 542 (all are from animals), or even just sugar that is processed with charred bone fragments.
The good news is that there are plenty of candies that pass the test and don't have any animal ingredients in them, so whether you need an everyday fix or just want a vegan Halloween, rejoice!
I'm not going to say these are all healthy candies, as many are still made with High Fructose Corn Syrup, but they are officially vegan.
One of my favorite places to find vegan candy is online at Vegan Essentials. Check out this link for all your animal-free options.
