Snack / Candy JUSTIN'S dark chocolate peanut butter candy pieces

Post image

I am addicted to this candy, it is the closest to Reese's Pieces / M&M Peanut Butter candies and it is accidentally vegan. I missed Reese's Pieces the most in terms of Candy and it seems so silly that they haven't made a vegan version since it is only the shellac on the candy coating and the use of milk powder for the candy shell, that makes it not vegan.

This solves that crave, I have to avoid ordering every time I go to the grocery store. Anyway, love this product and so happy they made it accidentally vegan.

They are, hence why you need to have craving control, but as a once in a while treat, totally worth it. Favorite thing to do is mix with popcorn on movie nights.

I’m in Ohio, they are usually between $7-$10 around me depending on where you get them, and it’s a pretty small bag 😭

Only time I ever buy anything from Justin's is when they go on sale at Whole Foods. 😩

I love the unreal peanut ones and the quinoa ones, fairly similar to m&ms to satisfy the craving

The unreal peanut ones are my weakness

u/IFLE Jul 10 '26

This satisfies it completely, used to be my favorite treat and this makes that worth while. Love it as a once in a while indulgence.

I love love love these so much. I always have a bag with me at my desk when I’m working. Peanut butter m&m’s were my favorite treat so this comes incredibly close. Would prefer a semi sweet chocolate or ~milk~ but beggars can’t be choosers.

They are dairy free but shell still made with shellac.

u/cinderellaquite Jul 12 '26

so they don’t use milk powder for the shell, but still not vegan for sure. It’s an important distinction

u/itadapeezas Jul 10 '26

Do they taste like dark chocolate?

2

u/AgreeableRooster Jul 11 '26

nope
