25 Easy Vegan Halloween Candy Recipes

These vegan Halloween candy recipes are perfect for parties, snacks, and of course, for trick or treaters!

By Lora O’Brien

Hallowe’en is a kind of love/hate time for many parents. You want your kids to have fun dressing up and enjoying the spookily fun atmosphere as they swing their pumpkin buckets happily knocking door to door. But all of that cavity-and-ADD-inducing candy that fills up their buckets? A freaking nightmare.

That’s especially true if you’re a vegan. If you have kids, you don’t want them to feel left out by not being able to eat non-vegan candy. And if you don’t have kids, you don’t want to compromise your values by handing out ‘treats’ that involved cruelty.

Vegan mom of two Ellen Fisher has a great suggestion for handling that unwanted, sugary, non-vegan Halloween candy. Her kids leave their sweet treats in their Halloween buckets, and in the middle of the night, she ‘magically transforms’ what’s in the buckets into  healthy treats for them to enjoy the next day. (But if she’s like me, she probably chows down on all that sugar herself in times of weakness! Another reason for my personal love/hate relationship with the holiday…)

Healthier Halloween Candy Options

But what does she swap it over with? I’m sure many of you will be asking. Well luckily, we have an abundance of sweet treats for you to choose from. From vegan toffees to caramel apples, you can have fun making these recipes – whether it’s Halloween or not.

Some of these are ideal for tossing into trick or treating buckets, while others are more suited to giving to kids, friends or guests who pop over to yours for a party or a cuppa. And most of them are so easy, kids can help you make them, too!

25 Fun Hallowe’en Sweets Recipes

Fun Vegan Halloween Candy Recipes

1. Vegan Biscoff Coconut Caramel Apples

As a kid, I lived for toffee apples! I would freak out when the bright red treats would finally be on sale come October. There’s something so satisfying about biting into one of these babies – but it’s hell on the teeth! I’ve found that these caramel apples are a little more dental friendly and don’t have half as much sugar. If you want to make them a little healthier, skip the sugary toppings and try some shredded coconut or crushed nuts instead.

2. Dairy-Free Caramel Candy

These little toffees are similar to those American Tootsie Roll treats, but they’re made without all the junk. They contain just three ingredients; maple syrup, sunflower butter and a little sea salt. Make them individually and cover them with little waxed paper wrappers to make an adorable little treat.

4. Dalgona Candy

People, this delicious candy has TWO ingredients. Just two! It’s super easy to make, and you can shape it into whatever you fancy. Also known as ‘honeycomb’ candy, it’s comprised basically of baking soda and sugar. Why not carve some ghosts or jack-o-laterns into these?

6. Candy Skull Crushers

This is one of the spookiest vegan Halloween candy recipes I know! These skulls are made of white chocolate…without the white chocolate! But don’t worry, they’ll taste exactly the same minus all that nasty milk and sugar that makes white chocolate taste so good. These are 100% vegan and even raw! And they’re kind of deliciously creepy, too. To keep their texture firm, store in the fridge or the freezer and take them out when you’re ready  to scoff them all.

What’s more gross than serving up a platter of bloody monster eyeballs!? Kids are going to absolutely love these, and the best part if they’re made from some pretty natural and great ingredients such as coconut, vanilla extract, raspberries and coconut oil. They’re basically soft coconut truffles are stuffed with juicy raspberries and vegan chocolate chips. Ugly but yummy, and one of the most fun vegan Halloween candy recipes for kids!

21. Raw Snickers Bars

For me, Hallowe’en is pretty much synonymous with Snickers. And no wonder. Did you know that the Snickers Bar was scientifically created to be absolutely delicious due to its combination of crunchy and creamy, sweet and salty? It apparently has one of the best ‘mouth feel’ factors, meaning people find it just delightful to eat. But they’re not usually vegan, sadly. So I was so happy to find this raw, healthy ‘Snickers’ recipe! Wrap these up in wax paper to give them out to trick or treaters.
