What sweets are Halal?

What sweets are Halal? Once, that question would have raised a few puzzled brows in your average British sweet shop. These days, it’s a question being asked by parents filling party bags, retailers looking to stock smart, and corporate buyers who don’t want to exclude half the room with a poorly chosen jelly bear. The good news? At Monmore Confectionery, we’ve compiled a proper list of Halal sweets—and not the usual dry suspects, either. These are bold, bright, juicy sellers with margin, mass appeal, and a beautifully inclusive ingredient list.First, what does ‘Halal’ mean when it comes to sweets?
Halal is an Arabic term meaning ‘permissible’. In the context of food and drink, it means the product is free from any components that are forbidden under Islamic law—commonly, this means no gelatine from non-Halal sources, no alcohol, and no cross-contamination. In sweets, it’s often the gelatine that trips things up. But thanks to innovation, demand, and a good bit of pressure from sweet lovers with standards, we now have an ever-expanding range of jelly sweets, laces, marshmallows, and freeze-dried delights that are certified Halal.
Halal sweets: one of the fastest growing categories in the UK
We’re not being dramatic. Halal confectionery is booming—and it’s not just because the UK Muslim population is over 3.9 million strong. Inclusive stocking is good business. Parents want treats they can trust. Shops want sweets that sell. Events need safe, certified, universally loved options. At Monmore, we supply bulk and retail-ready Halal sweets that don’t compromise on texture, flavour, or shelf appeal—and they shift fast.
