Top Brands to Stock for Veganuary
Ever since its introduction in 2015, Veganuary has encouraged people to try a lifestyle change. For some, it's a challenge; for others, it's a health kick, or perhaps even a trial run. In the last decade, not only has Veganuary become a regular fixture of the calendar, but it showcases how vegan confectionery has soared to new heights.
The modern confectionery market offers consumers more options than ever, with innovation everywhere you look. Not only are there ever-exciting collaborations and enticing new flavours, but with mouth-watering new recipes, resulting in a huge range of jaw-dropping vegan sweets.
For vegans, Veganuary won’t be hard. But for some, cutting all animal products from their diet for a month will be really, really difficult. So, stocking desirable free-from products will serve as a bit of normality for those missing their usual treats.
Here at Hancocks, we stock a massive range of confectionery – and plenty of it is vegan. There are so many great vegan options out there, so we thought it would be worthwhile to shine a light on some standouts. That way, if you want to offer a wider range after Veganuary, you know exactly what to look for!
Shades by Niko
An inclusive brand, fresh from the mind of YouTube sensation Niko Omilana, the entire Shades by Niko range is vegan-friendly and halal-certified. With the ultimate aim of creating sweets that can be enjoyed by anyone, there are four flavours that tickle every fancy and put smiles on faces.
Thanks to their bright, eye-catching packaging and their recipe for all, these are a great line for Veganuary and beyond. Whether your customers are young or old, are fans of Niko or not, these lines will hit the spot.
NOMO Chocolate
Plant-powered indulgence – NOMO makes delicious chocolate with plant-based recipes. Their range includes bars with a breadth of mouth-watering flavours, so you can offer a tasty treat to anyone at any time!
Their showstopping flavours range from Creamy Choc to Cookie Dough, with other favourites including their amazing Salted Popcorn and Caramel bars. NOMO is an essential brand if you’re looking to offer a selection of indulgent chocolate bars that appeal to everyone.
Kingsway Pick n Mix
Kingsway’s pick n mix sweets have long been a gem in the Hancocks crown - and there are plenty of vegan lines within it. From timeless favourites to boundary-pushing new faves, there is loads of great vegan Kingsway stock.
Plus, their Mega Value Range is a godsend if you’re only planning to increase your vegan presence for Veganuary! Comprising entirely of free-from takes on beloved pick and mix sweets, such as Fizzy Bubblegum Bottles and Sour Dummies, the range has plenty of star power – and will be as popular with your accountant as it will your customers.
Dirty Cow
Whether you’re a fully-fledged chocoholic or not, nobody wants to give up chocolate. For many, that will be a major Veganuary concern. Well, Dirty Cow brings serious firepower to the vegan chocolate shelf.
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 vegan chocolate. The result is a beautifully indulgent, dairy-free experience.
Their range is more indulgent than ever, as it has been recently refreshed with an even creamier recipe! Indulgent flavours and inclusions such as crushed pistachios, fruits, and pretzel pieces set these bars apart from the rest.
Booja-Booja
When it comes to luxury chocolate truffles, Booja-Booja know what they are doing. They’ve been making organic vegan treats for more than twenty years using only natural ingredients.
Their collections are hard to choose between and are presented beautifully. The gold-edged trays look amazing and are perfect gifting options. 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 Signature Selection Selection, which is simply a collection of all of their finest flavours!
Vegan-friendly Familiar Favourites
Whilst there’s a wide range of vegan-specific brands, there are also plenty of vegan options from some of the most popular household names. For instance, countless flavour variations of Skittles are vegan-friendly – as are Millions! You’ll also find a wide selection of timeless favourites such as Rowntree’s Jelly Tots and Fruit Pastilles, as well as Swizzels Drumsticks, Love Hearts, and many more! Adding renowned yet vegan-friendly lines to your range is easier than you’d think.
