Percy Pig was initially created in 1992 by Katjes for Marks & Spencer, a British big box store similar to Target and Walmart. In 2019, the candy line-up removed the pig product from the candy, aka gelatin, and in 2022, removed beeswax, making the line fully vegan! Percy Pig gummies are made with real fruit juice and contain no artificial flavors, colors, or ingredients. Now, Percy Pig has made his way overseas, and you can find the candy in Target stores (and from various online retailers).
The first time I tried a Vego bar was from a Vegan Cuts box. It was Vego’s iconic chocolate hazelnut bar, and after first bite it was apparent why this is Europe’s favorite vegan chocolate bar. The chocolate melts in your mouth and the hazelnuts add an earthy and buttery flavor alongside their crunch. The chocolate is made with hazelnut paste that adds a rich sweetness and creates a similar mouth feel to fudge.
