Candy Kittens

Hey there, we're Candy Kittens. Born in London, we make damn irresistible gourmet sweets. 

We believe that better is possible. In fact, we know it is. We're vegan, carbon neutral and have #NoNasties in any of our products. We strive to create the very best tasting sweets, by blending big flavours with honest ingredients to deliver more for our people and planet.

We're also the first ever B Corp certified sweets brand. Pretty cool, huh? 

Find us in all major (and minor) retailers in the UK.

Whether you’re diving head first into plant world this Veganuary or making a conscious effort to opt for a few plant-based meals each week, Candy Kittens has your sweet cravings covered! 

Don’t forget to treat yourself (January is already gloomy enough!) We’re here for every step of your tasty journey.

Highlights from our end of year Christmas Conference! 🎄

The CK team headed to The Retreat, Elcot Park for our end of year Christmas conference. We welcomed members of our board from Germany and our team shared some wonderful stats from 2023. 

We then heard the exciting plans for 2024, before we enjoyed an evening of Christmas celebrations. 

Founders Edward Williams & Jamie Laing thanked the team for the incredible work this year. We shared Christmas gifts, a festive meal before a morning of getting outside in the fresh countryside air and an afternoon of wreath making. 

What a great way to end the year in high spirits bringing everyone together and sharing the excitement of what 2024 has to bring, we can't wait! 🍬

So good to see epic support from other challenger brands in the industry looking to shake up their category & PerfectTed are a perfect example of this (pardon the pun 😏 & thanks for the shout out Max Jones)

In order to make a real positive difference, it's about making plant powered choices across all products you purchase.. not just sweets 🍬 💚 

Who needs pigs and cows anyway to make a noise?! 🐽  Challenge to you guys at PerfectTed ...who can Oink louder? Let the oink off commence 😂
