Veggie Sweet Shop
There is a new small company selling lots of lovely looking vegan friendly and veggie sweeties which I cannot wait to try. From jelly sweets to vegan marshmallows. I will let you know what I think of the products soon. Here is some information they have sent me.
From Needs Sweets:-
The concept of Need Sweets was born a few years ago out of frustration. We were two sweet toothed vegetarians with over 18 years of vegetarian living between us. We had managed to get our sugar fix from the small range of vegetarian sweets on offer at our local organic food shop but mainly from chocolate and ice lollies which is all very well but its not the same as sweeties and marshmallows! Children and life have delayed things for a few years but in October 2012 we launched Need Sweets online. Being keen internet shoppers ourselves and aware of the benefits of specialist products being delivered to your door we decided to create a one stop shop so that any vegetarian or vegan can buy their favourite treats with ease and confidence.
Years of trawling through endless lists of ingredients only to find the disappointing “gelatine” told us that vegetarians and vegans find it hardest to find suitable gummy sweets and almost impossible to find marshmallows they can enjoy. Our aim is to offer our veggie customers a genuine choice from a range that includes high-street brands and artisan producers. We carefully select each of our products by taste testing them first, something we see as a perk rather than a chore! Currently we stock a wide range of marshmallows from 4 producers and 20 lines of sweets which are all suitable for vegetarians. We are constantly expanding our vegan range but as it stands all of our marshmallows and 7 of our sweets lines are suitable for vegans. We continue to use our influence as a retailer and our experience of the vegan community to encourage more producers to go vegan and see this as part of what we want to achieve. We are currently experimenting with recipes for our own products with the hope of bringing them to market later this year.
