𧥠The Ultimate Vegan Halloween Treat Guide
Halloween is basically snack season for grown-ups and kids alike. And for vegan snack lovers, itâs the perfect excuse to unwrap something sweetâŠand totally cruelty-free. đ»
If youâre wondering how to fill your candy bowl (or your trick-or-treat bag) with vegan-friendly goodies this year, youâre in the right place. The Vegancuts team has rounded up the ultimate list of plant-based Halloween treats that prove you can indulge without compromise, plus why the Vegancuts Snack Box is the place to discover them all in one magical delivery ALL year round. đŹ
đ·ïž Why Choose Vegan Halloween Treats?
Halloween candy might be fun, but many mainstream treats hide scary ingredients like gelatin, milk fat, or carmine (aka, bugs), yikes đŹ. Vegan treats, on the other hand, are made with compassion â no animals harmed, and 100% delicious.
Hereâs why choosing plant-based snacks makes a big difference.
- đ± Kinder to animals: No dairy, honey, or gelatin.
- đ Planet-friendly: Plant-based snacks have a smaller carbon footprint.
- đȘ Better ingredients: Think natural sweeteners, wholesome nuts, and rich dark chocolate instead of chemical (or bug)-laden candy. In OUR opinion, non-vegan treats sound a lot more spooky.
Turns out, the best Halloween snacks are the kind you feel good about eating.
âIt is much easier to show compassion to animals. They are never wicked.â

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to have a âvegan Halloweenâ?
A vegan Halloween means celebrating the spooky season without using any animal products. That includes choosing candies, chocolates, and baked goods that are free from dairy, gelatin, honey, and other animal-derived ingredients. It can also extend to costumes, decorations, and makeup that are cruelty-free and sustainable.
2. Are there any popular accidentally vegan candies I can hand out to trick-or-treaters?
Absolutely! Many mainstream candies are âaccidentally vegan.â Some options include:
Smarties (U.S.)
Sour Patch Kids
Swedish Fish
Skittles
Dum Dums lollipops
Twizzlers
You can also find specialty vegan Halloween treats from brands like Unreal, No Whey!, and YumEarth.
3. How can I make sure the candy I buy is vegan?
Check the ingredient list for common non-vegan additives like gelatin, milk powder, carmine (red coloring from insects), honey, or shellac (confectionerâs glaze). Many vegan-friendly candies are clearly labeled âvegan,â which makes shopping easier.
6. What about costumes and makeupâhow can I keep those vegan too?
Choose costumes made from synthetic or natural fibers instead of wool, silk, or leather. For makeup, look for brands labeled cruelty-free and vegan, such as e.l.f., Pacifica, and Milk Makeup.
