I didn’t think I had a particularly sweet tooth. Not until I stopped drinking alcohol, anyway, and now my diet consists mostly of ice cream and chocolate. Then The Vegan Candy Co sent me half a kilo of their vegan pick ‘n’ mix and now my diet consists mostly of ice cream, chocolate and vegan pick ‘n’ mix. I thought 500g of sweets would last me until Christmas, at least. I’m not sure it even lasted until the weekend and I didn’t even get it until the previous Thursday. It was soooooooooooo good, I kept grabbing handfuls of it and happily chewed and sucked in front of the telly all night. Sorry teeth.
Because I loved it so much, I wanted to share the happiness and joy with you and to help spread the word about The Vegan Candy Co.
About The Vegan Candy Co.
Joanna and Lorraine founded The Vegan Candy Co because they wanted to supply affordable vegan sweets while also supporting animal rescue charities and 5% of their profits go to Brook Farm Animal Sanctuary. Brook Farm Animal Sanctuary mainly rescues farmed animals, although it takes in any animal of any species in need of help. Their boxes are 100% recyclable, compostable and reusable, as is the paper filling. They even print with plant-based ink.
If pick ‘n’ mix isn’t your thing, you’ll also find marshmallows, chocolate buttons and gluten-free rocky road bars. If pick ‘n’ mix is your thing though, you can go for a 500g selection, a kilo selection, a gluten-free kilo selection, a plastic-free kilo selection, or a monthly subscription. If you choose a selection, you’ll receive a bag brimming with a variety of 30+ sweets as a random assortment such as jellies, cola bottles, hard-boiled sweets, chews, lollies, chocolates, pineapple cubes and flying saucers.
Win a kilo of vegan pick ‘n’ mix from The Vegan Candy Co!
I mentioned above I wanted to share the happiness and joy I found (and am still finding – they’ve managed to last more than two days this time; yes, you may bow down to my restraint) in these vegan sweets and so The Vegan Candy Co have allowed me to host a giveaway of 1kg of their Mega Mix. Enter via the Rafflecopter widget below – good luck!

This is brilliant! It’s so difficult to get a selection of sweets for my nephew and niece who are both vegan.
I’m not vegan but this year I am trying to eat less meat and animal products, and to encourage my family to do the same. These make the switch so much easier – thanks for the great tips!
I need to try these! I have a soft spot for sweets when I’m watching a film.
this sounds delicious and a great idea!
Would be interesting try these to see what the flavour is like and look so good 🙂
If anything could persuade me to try vegan it would be vegan sweets, so worth a punt.
These sweets all look delicious and I would love to try them all
would love to win these sweets so i can share with my 2 children thankyou
They need to get in my face right now.
I’d love to try these sweets, hope I win.
can’t wait to get my nashers into that vegan candy!
I usually prefer chocolate to sweeties but I really like the look for these!
a great ethical idea and they look very tasty too
I don’t think i have ever even seen vegan sweets only chocolate really cool x
They look gorgeous and I would be so happy to munch my way through them.
Wow these look absolutely delicious and vegan too! What a treat!
Yummy – love the tangy ones – will have to hide them x
I honestly get so excited whenever I find vegan sweets – it was probably the hardest part about turning vegan for me, as I have a maaaajor sugar addiction
So exciting to find delicious looking vegan alternatives!! Yum
It would be really great to try some vegan candy
OMG this is dangerous to even enter! I’ve been vegan for 11 years and before that vegetarian since the age of 9, so gelatine laden sweets have been out of my life for a very (very) long time. There are seriously sweets there that I haven’t seen since early childhood and I can’t believe vegan versions exist!! It’s literally taking all of my willpower not to go and order a tonne of it lol. Fingers crossed and thanks for the heads up
The sweets look delicious , and so colourful and inviting . Being animal free makes them all the more appealing .
I’ve been a veggie for 32 years, and so growing up I didn’t eat sweets. I remember finding some veggie cola bottles when I was pregnant, and I cried!
They sound so delicious I’d love to give them a try!
These sweets look delicious, i enjoy trying new vegan sweets. Its hard finding good quality vegan sweets!
I would love to win these sweets. I have been vegan for over 30 years and it’s so good to see how there are now so many more vegan options.
Would love to try some vegan sweets – never had them yet but they sound great!
wow they look great and vegan too! would love to try!
One of the hardest thing about becoming a vegan was giving up sweets, this would be amazing!
Ooo these look so yummy! I love a good pick and mix, and even better that they are vegan.
I would really love to try these sweets, I am teetering on the edge of being a vegan, and have not found any sweet treats other than chocolate.
Wow looks amazing, I’d love to win to share this with my family
Oh yummy – I would love to win to share with my nieces and nephew x

What a great idea. It’s always a bit sad when I’m choosing pick ‘n’ mix in a shop but half of them contain milk so I can’t have them :(…although that doesn’t stop my husband picking anything, and everything (I know I’m an adult, but I still like a pick ‘n’ mix!)
There must be a really big gap in the market for vegan sweets and these sweeties look really good
These would be hard to resist and what fun having a mix! Trying all of the different flavors would be a requirement when sharing with family!
Id love to win these,for my vegan best friend for her birthday! Xx

I’d love to win these – the perfect way to convince my omni family that they don’t have to give up the good things in life!
looks fab. there’s something very nostalgic about sweets in a proper jar
Brilliant that these are suitable for vegetarians/vegans. When my daughter was younger she often missed out on sweets because they usually had gelatine in them
Oh my! This looks wonderful, count me well and truly in!!!
I never realised that they made a vegan version of pick n mix sweets.
Now i can feel a little less guilty when I’m eating my favourite sweets.
oh heck this would be a very sweet win 🙂 x
Who would have thought you could have a vegan fizzy cola bottle.
These look good, great prize I would love to win! Fingers crossed!
I’ve been a vegetarian my whole life (nearly 30 years) and it’s been so hard to get proper veggie sweets so I’m really pleased to find out about these!
Me, hubby and our 8 year old are all vegan, and the 12 year old is vegetarian. It’d be great to have some sweets we can all eat.
Perfect for me as I have a dairy free diet !
Doing another comment as forgot about the 10 word rule oops !Perfect for me as I have a dairy free diet !
Wow that would be one heck of a treat! I’d share them though of course 🙂
This would be great for my newly vegan sweet tooth to try out.
Wow what a great prize! I would share with my fiancé & our son
Oh my goodness! What a fab prize! I am totally addicted to sweeties and its so nice when I find new vegan goodies!

Didin’t even know you could get sweets like these for vegetarians/vegan! I had to give them up 30 years ago when I became a vegetarian, so would love to taste them again.
I’ve never tried Vegan candy but I’d be more than happy to try them, they look so good x
Looks yummy! I didn’t realise either that vegetarians and vegans can now get sweets like this. Great news!
Great that these are available
Fantastic that there is much more variety available for vegan and vegetarian diets thanks
these look really yummy and I imagine probably taste pretty similar to the real thing 🙂
I’m not convinced I’d do anything but eat all these sweets myself watching tv in the evening, hiding them jealously from the kids lol!!
I would love to try these sweets, perfect for a movie time treat
Would love to win this for my wife so she doesn’t feel too left out when I grab a bag of haribo.
We would love to try these. We did buy some from a vegan shop recently (not sure what brand) but they were lovely.
I usually choose vegan chocolate for a treat but these would be a nice change.
perfect for my Wife, very tricky finding sweets that done’t contain the dreaded gelatine
What an awesome giveaway! I’m currently doing a sugar free diet, so would have to try and resist these for a white ;D
I’ve never tried these before, I bet they are delicious and they will help keep me trim this spring!
I love sweets, too much, but I promise I would share these with my vegan daughter. Honest I would!
I think at this point my body is nine parts chocolate and one part Haribo so this would be great to get that ratio to 50/50
These would be a proper treat! Something I could snack on for myself
I’d love to try more vegan food and these sweets look delicious
Finding decent sweets without gelatine in them is a nightmare so I’m seriously excited (although my waistline not so much) by this extensive selection of vegan sweets. They even have marshmallows!!
This would be amazing for my very dear friend Allisson who is a passionate vegan! Thanks for the chance
So exciting to find vegan sweets, especially the jelly sort of ones, can never resist buying whenever I find them.

So I’m on ahealth kick atm in support of my poor 6 year old who has chrons disease etc. Gluten free, dairy free, fibre filled, I’m doing it all. Vegan is adding to the list of healthier choices too so I’m missing my comfort foods majorly. These vegan sweeties would be an actual slice of heaven RN xxxxxx
These look great, dont get many ‘jelly’ sweets that are vegan
You can never have too many vegan sweets… would have to hide them from the 3 year old though!

Yum, love the look of these sweets and great for trying to get the little peeps on the vegan track.
I am delighted to see that this company donate part of their profits to an animal sanctuary. I also find it reassuring to see that they use environmentally-friendly packaging. As someone who follows a vegan diet, it would be lovely to try their sweets.

These look like all the sweets I really love but can never have. How wonderful to find that I can actually eat these. Thank you for a great giveaway.
I am slightly addicted to sweets! I have at least 3 packs on my desk at work at any time, but it’s so disappointing that so many chewy ones contain gelatine, it’s very limiting to what I can actually eat!
