I am in the UK.
Check out Holland & Barrett for some. I'm not sure about jelly like sweets specifically cause I don't like them, but they carry lots of vegan sweets.
You can try these sites, too. Someone on the second one says that, "Jelly Tots, Soft Fruits and Soft Mints are all vegan." I've also heard that Starburst (UK version) are vegan, whereas the US version has gelatine.

Question: Are Jelly Belly jelly beans Dairy free?
Answer: We do not use any animal products in the basic recipe for Jelly Belly jelly beans. However trace amounts of dairy derivatives may be present in these flavours: Café Latte, Caramel Corn, Buttered Popcorn, Chocolate Pudding and Strawberry Cheesecake.
nothing with gelatin in them as it's made by boiling down pig bones, i.e. wine gums. Just check the ingredients. if it's got animal fats, animal whey, cochineal or gelatin - avoid.
Jelly Belly jelly beans.
strawberries are nice i love strawberrys
Frys Turkish Delight. Also anything with a "V" or Green Leaf logo on its packet in Tesco and Sainsbury's.
I know Jelly Belly's are gelatin free (Thank GOODNESS!), and I've also seen Mamba's (like starburst) sold on the vegan websites. Not sure if ALL Mamba's are veggie, or if it's a certain variety of them though.
The vegan stores also have vegan gummi bears. Try www.veganessentials.com or www.veganstore.com
Shipping is a killer though. I want some marshmallows from them, but I'm trying to find enough other stuff to buy to justify the $7 shipping charge!
anything without gelatin or CHOCOLATE instead of sweets yummy:)
Pineapple. Yum!
Go to Holland and Barrat and look for the gelatin free fruit flavoured jelly bears.They are suitable for vegetarians and vegans and taste great.I am somewhat hooked on them.
Sad for a 25 yr old I know lol.I have seen them for sale in other whole food and health food shops too.
Most desserts and candies are meat free. If you are vegan replace butter with oil or margarine. I don't know much egg replacement but I know it's possible. I had the yummiest vegan cinnamon roll last week, too bad the cafe wouldn't give me the recipe (I don't blame them).
Sainsbury's do a gelatin free fruit jelly and they are delish...trouble is there are not many in a packet. Thornton's do some as well and they are so full of flavour that they are making my mouth water now just thinking about them!
BTW
to all the veggies out there in UK land
Masterfoods who make products such as
Mars
Milky Way
Twix
Maltesers
Minstrels
and probably a few more, have changed their supplier and are now using rennet from calves stomachs in their ingredients, so, sad to say, they are no longer suitable for genuine vegetarians.
Here is a link to it...can't find the one which gives more information...and if you have any feelings about this matter then feel free to email them your thoughts!

Contact The Vegetarian Society and ask about a little book called "The Cruelty Free Shopper". It's been 13 years or so since I was Vegan/Vegetarian but this was a standard text and I would expect it is still sold, though it used to be mail order rather than available in bookshops. One of these could give you a comprehensive list of what is and is not suitable for you to eat. Also most supermarket own brand products will provide labelling to indicate if Suitable for Vegetarians.
Asda do strawberry/apple/cola laces that are vegetarian! Theyre 3 for ￡1 too. Some are vegan some have beeswax coating on.
Starbursts are Vegan. Skittles are vegetarian.
The main things you have to look for are Gelatine and Carmine - many people forget that, but carmines actually squished up insects - its also written as E120 or Cochineal
Asda do brilliant jelly sweets that are vegetarian (I think the gelling agent is pectin). These include products such as laces and, if you eat cochineal, then flying saucers. They're with all the children's sweets, and are always on 3 for ￡1.
As for the Mars products no longer being vegetarian, it's only products that have a use by date of after 01/10/07 that aren't veggie.
Many toffees are also vegetarian, as well as fudge.
Haribo do Halal sweets, which you are most likely to find in a small newsagents run by a Muslim family in a run-down area. They don't have quite the same texture, but they're still nice. They have a green circle sticker on the front and it says Halal in English and Arabic.
Orange and lemon, raspberry, strawberry, bubblegum, mint and cola flavour 'Millions' are all vegetarian, as are Pink Panther wafers.
You can also find out if a specific product is vegetarian society approved at http://www.vegsoc.org/seedling.html... but remember, even if it's not listed there, it doesn't mean it's not vegetarian.
Also pretty much all flavours of crisps are vegetarian, including Walkers Roast Chicken and Smokey Bacon. However, Sensations that are meat or cheese flavoured aren't.
Most chocolate is also vegetarian, except for the products made by Masterfoods that were mentioned above.
I haven't eaten gelatine since I was 11 (I'm now 15) and I've survived ;)
I read the other day mars,milky way,snickers etc,for some unknown reasons are no longer suitable for vegetarians-because they've now got animal fats in them-
I guess its yet another badly thought out idea by a big company.
How about chewing gum?
You just check the product to see if you can eat that certain ingredient but sweets are bad for you being a vegan,vegetarian or whatever eat some fruit and vegetables, then you will feel more healthy and your teeth wont go bad so the dentist will not tell u off.
yoghurt sweets
I heard sweets in woolworths are very nice. They have lots of different sweets there and they all look very yummy.
Many of the manufacturers of sweets are terrible at hiding animal products in sweets and failing to label those that are suitable for vegetarians.
The Mars range of sweets are not suitable for vegetarians, to my mind Mars bars never were as they have battery farm egg white in them. But it is not clear they are unsuitable from the ingredients
Had to contact Nestle for their list of vegetarian sweets:- Aero, After eight, black magic, blue riband, breakaway, caramac, dairy box, drifter, heaven, kit kat, matchmakers, milky bar, munchies, nesquik snake, nestle crunch, nestle, polo, quality street, rolo, rowntree, ROUNDTREE JELLY TOTS, toffee crisp, toffee crisp tray cake, toffo, walnut whip, yorkie.
That is their full list of vegetarian sweets.
Ones that have GELATINE in them are not..
BTW DONT DONT go on this if u like ur chocolate... im warning you...

try eating buttermilk bars and less fattening sweets.
Just add something about Masterfoods the manufacturers of the Mars range of sweets. After doctressWho put her answer. Masterfood has admitted it made a mistake putting rennet into their sweets, after a campaign organised by the Vegetarian society sent emails, and made phone calls to them, they have said they are reverting back to the original receipes with immediate effect, though it will take some months to sell of those with rennet in.
