Vegan Halloween Recipes FAQ
Whether you prefer chocolate or fruity candy, there are many vegan candy options available at mainstream grocery stores and drugstores. If you have a sweet tooth, try a spooky cookie or cake recipe or indulge in a caramel apple. Feeling healthy? Get your veggies in with a dinner of roasted seasonal vegetables, pumpkin soup, and stuffed squash.
Yes, vegans can trick or treat, but some non-vegan candies will likely end up in your Halloween pail. Trade, donate, or give away your unwanted milk chocolate, gelatin-laden gummies, and confectioner’s glaze-coated bites in favor of vegan sweets like dairy-free dark chocolate, hard candies, pectin-based gummies, and licorice.
Some popular vegan-friendly Halloween candies include Sour Patch Kids, Swedish Fish, Twizzlers, Laffy Taffy, Skittles, and most hard candies. For chocolate, try Unreal Dark Chocolate Gems, Justin’s Peanut Butter Cups, or NadaMoo’s chocolates. Some common non-vegan ingredients in candy include milk, whey, gelatin, and confectioner’s glaze.
No, candy corn is not vegan because most brands use gelatin and confectioner’s glaze. Avoid the YumEarth Organic Candy Corn too—while YumEarth offers many vegan options, this product unfortunately contains egg whites. If you love candy corn, your best bet is to make it yourself with a vegan candy corn recipe.
If you’d like to avoid handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, try handing out small toys, pencils, or healthy snacks like trail mix packets, granola bars, or sunflower seeds. At home, kids will enjoy healthier dinner and snack options like jack-o-lantern stuffed orange peppers, pumpkin bread, and toasted pumpkin seeds.

Notes
- Make sure to peel all the skin off the kiwi and cut off any tough parts of the kiwi fruit before blending so the kiwi puree is smooth.
- Wilton Gel Food Coloring in Black is a vegan black food coloring that can be found online, in craft stores, and some well-stocked grocery stores. A little goes a long way! If you can’t find black food coloring or prefer another color, use your favorite color of vegan food coloring.
- You can use store bought simple syrup, or make your own.
- You can replace the simple syrup with flavored syrup in apple or kiwi flavor for additional flavor such as Monin or Torani brand.
