What are some good sweets suitable for vegetarians?

I m getting married next year and some guests will be vegetarians and also a couple of lactose intolerant and am planning on having a sweet table where there is something suitable for everybody, any suggestions?

First off, Congratulations!
Secondly, I’m not sure exactly, maybe you could google or check for that “V” on the packets of sweets.

Thank you

Hopefully there's some ingredient lists online somewhere, I only know that gelatine and lactose are ones to look out for, I've no clue if there's any other ingredients vegetarians can't have.

Cyanide smells a lot like sweet almonds, I am told :fyi:

Seriously, why would you invite any vegetarians to your wedding?

Yes this isnt a game of thrones wedding so no cyanide:P My mum prefers veggie food and my future mother in law are and apart from 2 lactose intolerant people, the other 50 something are having meat. I just recon sweets wise it's much easier to cater for all than have to tell people not to eat certain things.

I've only seen them in 150g bags which are not like the tiny funsize packs but definitely wouldnt be described as in bulk

Not quite sweets, but Booja Booja chocolates always go down well.

Haribo strawberries
Jelly beans :smile:

I'd always thought all haribo was not suitable for vegeterians, I absolutely love the strawberry ones as well so that's going on the list, thank you :smile:

I wonder if anywhere will do a pack of just purple skittles, that would be perfect :smile:

This sounds like such a great idea! I wish I'd done it for my wedding.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but often red sweets are colored with crushed beetles so unsuitable for veggies.

I recommend licorice. Not only is it the most delicious of all sweets but it's often vegetarian and even vegan friendly. :drool:

Skittles, chewits, M&S veggie pigs and starbursts are the only I can think of. A lot of sweets are actually gelatine free anyway so its always worth checking the ingredients :smile:
