    Well, what type do you like?
    There are a lot of veggetarian ones.
    If something had gelatin etc in it, you can usually fnd alternatives to it in health food shops.

    apparently you can get some veggie-friendly sweets in halal shops...

    Starburst are vegan. I think Skittles are vegan too.

    Cadburys own Bassets they have loads of veggie products. You can find them here:

    I've seen veggie jellies in health food stores. But they are expensive so I've never tried them.

    I always thought Skittles weren't even veggie...


    I bought jelly babies and cola bolttles from these guys before and they were very nice:

    i notice on that link mars bars etc arnt from a certain date? did they roll back on their change of mind?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,128 ✭✭✭sweet-rasmus


    i'm sure we'd have heard something if they had. i wonder did they just not update wherever it said that.

    starburst for deffo. can't really think of much else cause i'm not much of a sweet eater. just check the ingredients... *sigh* 70% dark chocolate is the land i live in :)

    Lemon's Orchard Jellies are Pectin-based instead of Gelatine. these are available in Tesco's and probably some other shops. A lot of sugar on them though.

    I generally just stick to chocolate myself. If you like candy bars, here is Mars' list - they say they'll start labeling whether they are suitable for vegetarians or not (since they've gone back and forth):
