The title is misleading. It should actually read 22+ vegan sweet treats, but that would be an arguement on semantics and that title doesn't seem nearly as appealing. Instead, let's call it ten, with alternatives, and two unsolicited bonus suggestions.
This list came about because my friend Jordan and I were recently discussing the qualms of eating too many cookies, especially at inappropriate times like 8am. She is newly vegan and my casual use of the phrase "Joe Joe's" was lost on her. Being the smart (and pretty!) cookie that she is, she googled it and saw that there is an even more vegan friendly sandwich cookie than accidentally vegan Oreos.
I then proceeded to promise Jordan that I would do a blog about my top ten vegan friendly, commercially available sugar fixes. Thinking about the research required for this was grueling, and knowing I'd have to buy one of each for photographing seemed daunting.. how on earth would I ever survive? =D [Please note: photographing these treats never happened.]
This list contains a lot of items from Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. If you are fortunate enough to live near one, you will be relieved to see this. If you aren't, I will try to offer alternatives where I know of them. Sadly, even accidentally vegan sweets are becoming harder & harder to come by. I avoided "candy" in this list because, honestly, I don't eat a lot of it. I'd rather have a cupcake or a cookie than taffy. If that's odd, I'm not sorry.
