Vegan Sweets: Snacking with a Clear Conscience
Do you love sweets but don't want to compromise on your values? Vegan sweets combine pure indulgence with conscious consumption. Whether it's crispy bars, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate, or fruity treats – the selection of plant-based snacks is now bigger than ever.
At share, you'll find vegan snacks that not only taste delicious but also have a real impact. With every purchase, you automatically donate a meal to someone in need. This turns every little snack break into a good deed.
What makes sweets vegan?
Vegan sweets completely avoid animal-based ingredients. This means no milk, no butter, no honey, and no gelatin. Instead, plant-based alternatives are used that are at least just as delicious.
Typical animal ingredients found in conventional sweets:
-
Gelatin (from pig or cow bones)
-
Beeswax or honey as a coating
-
Milk powder and butterfat
-
Carmine (red dye from insects)
-
Shellac as a glazing agent
Vegan alternatives rely on ingredients like cocoa butter, coconut oil, plant-based milk alternatives, and natural food colorings. The result: treats that taste just as creamy, crispy, or fruity – only purely plant-based.
What to Look For When Buying
Not every sweet that appears vegan at first glance actually is. Hidden animal ingredients often lurk in the ingredient lists. Pay special attention to these points:

Free From: What Makes Vegan Treats Stand Out
High-quality vegan sweets are compelling not only because of what's in them, but also because of what's not. Many products are also free from artificial additives:
- No preservatives
- No artificial colors
- No artificial flavors
- No palm oil
Especially with organic quality, you can be sure that natural ingredients are prioritized. Fair trade conditions and sustainable raw materials round out the package. This way, you can enjoy your treat with a clear conscience, not just for animals, but for people and the planet too.
Vegan Chocolate: Creamy Indulgence Without Milk
For a long time, vegan chocolate was considered crumbly and tasteless. Those days are over. Modern recipes using high-quality cocoa butter and carefully selected ingredients deliver a taste experience that is just as good as classic milk chocolate.
Dark chocolate varieties are often naturally vegan, as they have a high cocoa content and fewer additives. But even creamy praline creations can now be made purely plant-based. Look for fair trade cocoa – by doing so, you also support better working conditions in the countries of origin.
Vegan Bars: The Perfect On-the-Go Snack
Whether at the office, during sports, or while traveling – vegan bars are the ideal companions for anyone needing a treat in between. Nut bars with caramel, chocolate, or fruit provide a quick burst of flavor and satisfy sweet cravings.
