Y'all, I love Halloween. I love dressing up, helping my kid put together his costume, and (of course) I love Halloween treats! My cauldron runneth over with vegan Halloween ideas, and this year I'm putting my favorite treats and other eats in one place for you.

Shopping for Vegan Halloween Candy

Shopping for vegan Halloween candy requires a bit of label-reading. Sometimes, candy will contain hidden animal ingredients. These are ingredients to look out for on candy labels:

beeswax

carmine

confectioner's glaze

eggs or egg products - like with milk, these will be declared ("contains eggs") in the allergy info area below the ingredients

gelatin

honey

lecithin (not soy lecithin)

lutein

milk or milk products - Look for "contains milk" in the allergy info as a shortcut here

oleic acid or oleinic acid

stearic acid

YumEarth Lollipops - I loved these lollies even before going vegan. They come in fun flavors, like mango and peach, and they don't contain artificial colors. They're also totally peanut- and tree nut-free. Kids with nut allergies have it rough on Halloween, so these make their day.
