Spooky, scary, creepy, crawly fun is all around us because it's (VEGAN) Halloween Week!
So gather up your closest ghouls, goblins, ghosts, zombies, skeletons, witches, black cats, pirates and vampires and get prepared for a Halloween Weekend of fun frightsand fantastic vegan treats!
Here is my Vegan Halloween Round-up of some fun vegan recipes, vegan treats (from gourmet goodies like the Cocoa V chocolates shown above to Drug Store stand-by's like Swedish Fish!) and resources to make your Halloween vegan-tastic..
Treats! You can't have a happy (vegan) Halloween without a few vegan treats. And that includes both treats to hand out at your door, and treats for an at-home Halloween party as well.

Trick-or-Treating Candy
Check out VegNews Guide to Halloween Candy to discover which mainstream brands are indeed vegan. That includes sweets like Pez, Swedish Fish and Sour Patch Kids - all vegan. Yes!
VegNews also has a nifty Halloween Craft Guide up this year.
PetaKids Guide to Candy is also a great resource - it contains both vegan candy and vegan snack ideas (who knew Nabisco Gingersnaps, Nutter Butter Bites and Triscuits were vegan?) - this page also lists a few helpful ingredient definitions.
Ecorazzi also has a Top Ten vegan Halloween Candy List (with commentary).
And a SheKnows list of fave vegan Halloween candy. Twizzlers stuck out to me on this one!
Ready to Start Shopping for some vegan Candy??
Check out the Natural Candy Store's supply of yummy, cute, spooky Halloween candy. Those ghost and bat lollipops are adorable. And the vegan peanut butter cups - yum!
Another vegan peanut butter cup I love: Gone Pie Bakery in NYC. (mail-order available!)
Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe with a Halloween Candy 'store' has a few fab treats like marshmallow ghosts!
Also check out Vegan Essentials Vegan Candy for sale online.
GoMaxFoods Vegan Candy Bars are pretty darn awesome. I love the Mahalo Choco-Coconut flavor.
Craving a few Gourmet Treats?
Check out Blossom Restaurant's vegan chocolate-themed cafe/bar: Cocoa V for seasonal Halloween treats and festive goodies like ghost lollipops, orange-frosted cupcakes and more. In NYC.
The Cocoa V truffles and chocolates are fantastic. Some of the treats I picked up last time I was there...
Cocoa V PB Chocolate:
Cocoa V Caramel Chocolate:
Cocoa V Halloween Cupcakes:
Check out OneLuckyDuck's Halloween Macaroons! Orange and black colored. Raw. Vegan.
Babycakes Vegan Bakery in both LA and NYC also has a wide range of festive vegan treats.
Or try a vegan cinnamon roll with Pumpkin Spice frosting from Cinnaholic. In Berkeley, CA.
Not into edible treats?.. Try Stickers! This article has a great idea to hand out stickers instead of candy. Because really, what kid doesn't love stickers??
Peta has some cute vegan stickers if you want to spread a message.
Or you can find a huge variety of stickers (Halloween Themed!) at Oriental Trading orZazzle. Here's my Ghosty Tomato Trick-or-Treat Sticker.
