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 product.

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. Rejoice!
