Dots<br><br>
Dum-Dums<br><br>
Fireballs<br><br>
Hot Tamales<br><br>
Jolly Ranchers (lollipops and hard candy)<br><br>
Jujubees<br><br>
Jujyfruits<br><br>
Mentos<br><br>
Mike and Ike's<br><br>
Now and Later<br><br>
Pez<br><br>
Ring Pop lollipops<br><br>
Smarties (U.S. Brand)<br><br>
Sour Patch Kids<br><br>
Starburst (jelly beans and hard candy)<br><br>

Please add to this any candy/treats you have found to be vegan!

Are you sure about the Now and Laters? A while back I bought some and I could have sworn the banana ones at least said they had egg whites in them.

Twizzlers are vegan? Cool. I took my daughter to a movie the other night and didn't get any candy, thinking they were all non-vegan.

Another option is something that my vegan sister is doing. She said she felt guilty "aiding childhood obesity" So she bought a bunch of stickers and glow in the dark bugs off of ebay for practically nothing and she's going to hand those out. It sounds like a good idea to me and I might do it too.

Red Vines are vegan. They're also crazy delicious and you can bite off the ends and use it as a straw.

They might be... Red #40 is charcoal-derived, I think. The issue would be if they contained carmine (cochineal).

Here's another list...<br><br><br><br><a href="http://www.vegfamily.com/lists/vegan-candy.htm" target="_blank">http://www.vegfamily.com/lists/vegan-candy.htm</a>

Has anyone ever found any vegan candy corn? I found some without gelatin, but not without egg whites. Candy corn is my favorite halloween candy and I'd enjoy having it again.

 

[ChiKat]

I know someone who found candy corn from jellybelly.com and it doesn't contain gelatin OR egg whites, however it does contain beeswax.<br><br><br><br>

I think they might have changed their recipe because my friends told me they are (now) vegan. The only candy I've been eating are Sour Patch Kids and I eat them VERY RARELY because the amount of sugar on those things burns my tongue when I go overboard and eat 10 in 3 minutes and then I can't taste anything all week. Ha.<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/dunce.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":dunce:">

 

[froggythefrog]

I think that dust is citric acid. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/tongue3.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

 

[sunshinegal]

I hope Twizzlers changed their recipe. I wanted some a few months back and they were not vegan at the time. I instead got some swedish fish!<br><br><br><br>
HAHA! I know all about the sour patch kids killing the tastebuds! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/tongue3.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

the wider ones seem to have the egg, while the mini ones and the rope ones appear to be egg free.<br><br><br><br>
<<<adores laffy taffy.

re: Twizzlers. In the US, the "regular" kind are vegan, but the rope ones (Pull and Peel I think they're called) contain glycerin, which the company has failed to identify, as of last summer, as either animal or vegetable based.
