What sort of candy can't you eat? What candy has gelatin and what doesn't? What other things do I need to avoid eating?

circus peanuts
face washes(not that you'd be eating these)

    You have to be careful and check the ingredients to things. Like, almost everything. Some common non-veg*n ingredients are:

    Gelatin (animal bones, hooves, and connective tissue): found in jello, marshmallows, and some sweets, especially gummies and skittles.

    Rennet (lining of a calves's stomach): found in cheeses and some other dairy products.

    Lard (pig fat): found in baked goods and some cosmetics.

    Chicken/beef/or other meat stock, broth, or bouillon (basically boiled-down, powderized meat): found in those little flavor packets, like in ramen noodles, and many other soups.

    Here are some sites to help you determine weather or not an ingredient is veg*n-friendly:
