Confectionery wholesaler, Hancocks is expanding its range of vegan sweets, following a “growing demand from customers”.
The company is adding vegan sweets from brands including Creative Nature Superfoods, The Wizards Magic Chocolate, Jealous Sweets, Montezuma’s Chocolates, Doisy & Dam, Moo Free, Tony’s Chocolonely, Dirty Cow Chocolate, Enjoy, Booja-Booja, Swizzels Matlow, Loveraw, and Retrocorn.
It is also increasing the size of its pick and mix range, such as adding a range of sweets from Swedish confectionery brand and expanding its own Kingsway brand with vegan Kingsway Fruit Hearts.
Year on year, there is an increasing demand for vegan and plant-based foods, snacks and desserts. The confectionery industry has been developing this even further with companies like Nestlé launching an exciting addition to its Rowntree’s Fruit Pastilles range – its New Dessert Pastilles come in four delicious flavours – mango sorbet, blueberry pie, cherry bakewell and apple crumble; and are available in a 139g sharing bag. Ritter Sport unveiled a quartet of delicious chocolate bars that are accidentally vegan, and Mars Inc announced the launch of two brand-new vegan chocolate bars.
