More about The Conscious Candy Co

The Conscious Candy Company all started when the founder Laura Scott noticed there was a gap in the market for new and exciting vegan sweets. Having been vegetarian and vegan for over 15 years and finding that she was struggling to find new and exciting vegan sweets, she decided to take action. This is when The Conscious Candy Company was born.

The Conscious Candy Company is committed to finding exciting new and old time favourite pick and mix sweets so that you don’t have to worry about reading labels and can spend more time eating delicious candy.
