The Lovely Candy Co. recently launched an entirely USDA-certified organic candy line that's also completely vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free and made without peanuts—which makes them perfect for packing as a school snack for kids.
Some of the new products that can be found in the organic candy line from The Lovely Candy Co. include individually wrapped fruit-flavored candy chews, hard candies in both Original and Tropical flavor mixes, plus fruit-flavored lollipops and mints.
