10 Candies you probably didn’t know were vegan - Candy Room? ›

Fortunately, loads of candies are vegan, so we can indulge our cravings (mostly) guilt-free. Most dark chocolate is vegan, as are popular sweet treats such as Smarties (known as Rockets in Canada), Oreos, Airheads, Jujubes, and Swedish Fish (some Swedish Fish contain beeswax, so be sure to check the label).

Milk, cream, honey, gelatin, and butter are some of the core ingredients in candies, making them unsuitable for vegans.

Skittles. It's easy to taste the rainbow everywhere you go with a handful of vegan-friendly Skittles! Luckily these multi-colored candies can be found at a variety of grocery stores and gas stations.

Most types of Skittles are considered vegan, but not all. While Skittles Classic Fruits, Skittles Sour, Skittles Tropical and Wild Berry Skittles are all currently suitable for vegans, some special editions such as the Once in a Blue Moon Skittles are not, as the blue skittles contain animal product derivatives.

Many vegans refer to Oreos as “accidentally vegan,” meaning they don't contain animal products — but they weren't created to be a specifically vegan treat. Oreos do not contain milk, eggs, or any other animal-derived products, so they are technically vegan in that sense. Plant-based cookies and cream lovers rejoice!

Beer and Wine

Isinglass, a gelatin-based substance derived from fish, is used as a clarifying agent in some beer and wine. Other non-vegan ingredients sometimes used are casein (from milk) and egg whites.

Twizzlers

Whether you choose classic strawberry, strawberry smoothie or the caramel apple filled twists, you can be sure that they are a vegan-friendly product.

What American sweets are vegan? ›

Airheads are nice and chewy.

All flavors of regular airheads, as well as Airhead Xtremes, are vegan. So, you can choose between sweet and sour flavors this Halloween.

The truth of the matter is, Laffy Taffy, whether it be stretchy and tangy, Laffy Taffy ropes, or the bite-sized Laffy Taffy minis, is not vegan friendly. Why, you ask? It's primarily due to several ingredients including sugar, hydrogenated cottonseed oil, natural and artificial flavors, and mono- and diglycerides.

Sadly, there are no vegan M&Ms, as all variants have milk-derived ingredients. However, it's unfair to deprive yourself if this chocolate candy is your most favorite treat!
