Once the rush of Christmas dies down, Valentine’s Day used to be the next big event for confectionery. But in recent years Veganuary has gathered momentum, with more and more people taking on the challenge each year.
For vegans, Veganuary won’t be hard. But for some, cutting all animal products for a month will be really, really difficult. So, stocking delicious free-from products will offer a bit of normality for those missing their usual treats. Whether that’s some chocolate at the end of a long day, or something delicious as a vegan dessert, it makes sense to offer plant-based confectionery at this time more so than any other.
Here at Hancocks, we stock a massive range of sweets – and plenty of them are vegan. Loads of big brands have free-from offerings, but we thought it would be worthwhile to shine a light on some that only make vegan products. That way, if you want to offer a wider range after Veganuary, you know exactly what to look for!
When it comes to luxury chocolate truffles, Booja-Booja’s know what they are doing. They’ve been making organic treats for more than twenty years using only natural ingredients. Importantly, they don’t use any animal products! Their truffles are vegan and have won plenty of awards. So trust us, customers will love them!
We stock trays of their truffles here at Hancocks. The collections are hard to choose between and are presented beautifully. The gold-edged trays look amazing and are perfect gifting options.
Their variety of flavours delivers a truffle for everyone. There’s the Hazelnut Crunch and Almond Salted Caramel truffles for those who enjoy nutty treats. The Midnight Espresso tray for coffee lovers. Plus, their Award Winning Selection which, you guessed it, is a tray of exquisite truffles that are award-winningly tasty!
BUBS have been making sweets their own way for almost thirty years. The Swedish family business revels in making jellies that aren’t run of the mill. They bring creative ideas to life and produce top-quality sweets! All of the BUBS products we stock are vegan and will add zing to any sweet offering.
Take a look at their sweets, and you’ll see that many of their sweets are two-tone. This is because BUBS love an awesome flavour combination! We stock banana and caramel, raspberry and blueberry plus sour raspberry and lemon sweets. There’s also strawberry cheesecake flavour, so you can add some unique flavours to your pick n mix stand. There are plenty of fun designs in the range, too, with their signature skulls alongside octopus and other shapes.
The eye-catching and delicious sweets, which are free from animal products, would be a great addition to any pick n mix offering. Even after Veganuary has been and gone!
Whether you’re a fully-fledged chocoholic or not, nobody wants to give up chocolate. For many, that will be a Veganuary concern. Well, Dirty Cow brings serious firepower to the vegan chocolate shelf. Evidenced by the Great Taste Award won by their Salty Susan bar!
Their bars are made with cocoa sourced from sustainable farming. Then, they are finished off with incredible toppings that are dipped, crunched and tossed into the chocolate. The result is a beautifully indulgent, dairy-free chocolate experience.
Take the Salty Susan, for example. It mixes sweet and salty with pretzel pieces scattered atop the creamy bar. Other flavours include Netflix & Chill, which is sprinkled with popcorn, and Cookies No Cream, which is crowned with delightful cookie chunks.
At Hancocks, we’ve got a selection of 11 Dirty Cow flavours to choose from. All of which are indulgent enough to appeal to any customer whether they’re vegan or not!
