You might be wondering...what makes candy non-vegan? A lot of things, unfortunately. The most common non-vegan ingredients in candy are:
Honey
Beeswax
Gelatin (made from animal bones)
Carmine (red pigment made from insects)
Shellac (make from insect excretions)
Some sugar is refined with bone char
Chocolate products often contain dairy, milkfat, whey, or casein
Eggs
