Maynaurds Bassets Beef or Pork Gelatin

Presenting: A listing of 40+ vegan gummy candies that are great for Halloween, to give away as gifts, or just to indulge when you need a sweet fix! I LOVE gummy candies. Unfortunately, a lot of gummy candies on the market contain animal products. Gelatin, which comes from animal bones. Beeswax, which comes from beehives. Shellac, which comes from the lac bug. And carmine, which is a beetle that is crushed to make the colour red. That's right, when you're not eating vegan candies, you're likely eating bugs and bones. Yummy 🙁 The good news is that I made it my mission to find 40+ Gummy Candies that are Actually Vegan!

I spent hours researching all things vegan gummy candy, decoding ingredients, and getting excited for halloween. AKA the time of year to buy large buckets of candy and pretend like you are going to give it all away. (haha, yeah right).

Can you believe that I don't have a single gummy candy around my house to help me get through this research? That's gotta change immediately!

Some of the candies I found are very easy to find everywhere, and some are more specialty candies that would be perfect for gifts or just indulging.

If you discover any more vegan gummies, let me know in the comments. 🙂

Sour Patch Kids

Sour Patch Kids make my mouth hurt just thinking about them because I can eat WAY too many of these sweet and sour candies. If anyone has ever eaten too much sour candy you know what that feels like!

Fuzzy Peach

Ahhh Fuzzy Peach!! These little beauties remind me of being a kid. Sugar-coated on the outside, very sweet and chewy in the middle.

Swedish Berries

Swedish Berries are perfectly sweet little berry shaped candies. Oddly delicious when you mix them into vegan movie theatre popcorn.

Swedish Fish

Keeping things Swedish for a sec. Swedish Fish are soft, chewy, kinda waxy... but almost in a good way if that's possible.

Twizzlers

Me and my best friend used to turn these into an evil weapon as kids, and would whip each other with them... don't do that. It hurts! As soon as I get a bag of these, I rip them open and let them get stale. Call me crazy, but I love how they get hard and extra chewy.

Redvines

In my opinion, the sad cousin of Twizzlers. They just aren't as good to me!

Dots

Dots always remind me of Halloween because I would get mini boxes of these in my trick-or-treat bag.

Skittles

Skittles.. I don't know if these are really considered a gummy candy, but because they are EVERYWHERE, I thought it was a good idea to include them for vegan candy emergencies.

Air Heads

Hmmm Air Heads... I haven't had these very often in my life, but if I remember correctly they are similar to Laffy Taffy.

Jujyfruits and Jujubes

I'm pretty sure these are common in the US but not in Canada, so I can't say I know them well. We do have something called Jujubes in Canada, but they are a totally different candy, and unfortunately not usually vegan.

Brach's Mandarin Orange Slices

Most of Brach's candy isn't vegan at all, but these ones managed to sneak through. Woot woot!

Annie's Organic Bunny Fruit Snacks

I've seen these hanging out at many health food stores, but have yet to pick them up because I didn't know they were vegan! Note to self: buy immediately.

Realfruit

Someone is picking up on the vegan trend because Dare Candy Co. have recently released several vegan candies, proudly stating on the front of the package that they are gelatin free. Woot woot!

Squish

One of my very favourite friends introduced me to Squish candy by giving it to me as a gift. They currently have 9 different vegan gummy candies on their site, and you can easily find them by selecting the vegan category! I'm in LOVE with this line of Canadian candy.

Surf Sweets

This line of gummies is new to me, but I can't wait to try them. I love how they proudly declare on their site that they have gummies for vegans. Those fruity bears are calling my name!

Gin Gins

If you are a fan of ginger you will love these. Slightly sweet with a very strong ginger flavour, they are chewy like taffy. Also great to soothe and upset stomach!

Lovely Candy Co.

While not all of their candies are vegan, the Lovely Candy Co. declares right on their site if they are vegan or not, making it super easy to shop.

Seitenbacher Happy-Fruits

I love how these come in cool flavours such as black currant and passion fruit.

Trujoy Sweets

All vegan candies all the way! I love the idea of chewy peppermint chocolate candies. The perfect stocking stuffer!

Tasty Brand

I haven't yet sampled these vegan gummy candies, but they sure look tasty! 😉 And they have 5 different gummy options and all of them are totally vegan!

I hope you loved this collection. I know I can't wait to get my hands on these.

Bon Appetegan!
