Whether you’re shopping for Halloween or just to satisfy your sweet tooth, it is easy to find vegan candy once you know what to look for (and what to avoid). You can stay away from candies that contain obscure animal byproducts by choosing from our list below.

Keep in mind that unless sugar is specifically labeled vegan, it is often processed using bone char. This is the case for most of the candy listen above. Some vegans choose to avoid conventional sugar for this reason.
Vegan Chocolate
Most high-quality dark chocolate bars are vegan, but always check the ingredients for milk products. But very few traditional candy bars are vegan. Here are a few vegan products that are intended to go head-to-head with mass-market non-vegan candy bars like Snickers Bars:
- Alter Eco (100% vegan)
- Equal Exchange (some products are vegan)
- Go Max Go Foods (100% vegan)
- Obsessive Confection Disorder (100% vegan)
- Sjaacks (some products are vegan)
