Swizzels Choos Vegan Sweets – Suitable for a Halal Diet

Growing up we pretty much ate anything and everything. Who would have thought there would be something in sweets that we couldn’t eat? However as we got older and more educated we realised there was a number of ingredients in some sweets that we as Muslim’s could not have…in particular in the chewy sweets.

Gelatine is a big issue….although with red food colouring carmine was also an issue.

In the olden days our parents did not realise about these ingredients but as  mother who now knows, I am extremely careful about what sweets the children eat. It can sometimes be hard as when children give out sweets at school for their birthdays they often contain gelatine, which means Bee can’t eat them so she does get slightly upset. 

She was extremely excited when she learnt that Swizzles had sent us a vegan hamper of sweets – which meant she could eat every single thing in it (in moderation of course!!)

Swizzels Vegetarian and Vegan Treats

As a child I was always a fan of rainbow drops and refreshers and now Swizzels have introduced Choos!

Choos your Flavour

Choos Your Feeling

There are two varieties of Choos – Drumstick Choos and Refreshers Choos

Drumstick Choos

  • Strawberry and Cream

  • Peaches and Cream
  • Strawberry and Banana

Refreshers Choos

  • The Original Lemon

If we had to pick a favourite out of them all it would be impossible as they are all incredibly moreish! The whole family have tried them out and all love them – I can’t see them lasting long!
