Since its launch in 2012, Candy Kittens has evolved into an eco-conscious brand that has undergone many vegan and veggie makeovers.
After ditching beef gelatine in 2017, the sweet brand wanted to open up its products to more people, no matter what their dietary requirements.
Additionally, the latest move to 100% will mean everyone can enjoy the purr-fect sweet treat.
In a statement, Co-Founder and MD, Ed Williams, said the brand is “delighted that we’ve reached this 100% vegan milestone”.
Fans of the vegan sweet brand were elated to discover the good news.
One person commented on the social post declaring: “I’m so happy, I could cry!”
While another said: “Finally, I get to try these!”
