Before you put on your Halloween costume (any other Honey Boo Boos out there this year?) and run to the store to stock up on your favorite candy, there’s something you need to know—some candy contains animal bones! I know what you’re thinking: “Bones?” Yes, bones! And I’m not talking about fake, spooky, decorative bones—I’m talking about gelatin.
Gelatin is obtained by boiling the skin, tendons, ligaments, and bones of animals—usually dead cows or pigs—with water. 
Talk about a scary Halloween!
The good news is that you can still satisfy your sweet tooth without chewing on some pig bones. In fact, you can find vegan candy at every grocery store! Check out our Guide to Vegan Grocery Shopping for some yummy options.
What’s your favorite vegan candy?

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

Love Equal Exchange’s dark chocolate mini-bites! So good dipped in almond butter!!
ps…lots of vitamins come in a gummy form now…which usually mean gelatin. Check the label before you buy!

My favorite vegan candy has got to be skittles. They are now made without gelatin, so they are safe! Rice crispy treats using corn syrup rather than marshmallows is good too:)
