Trick or treat!
If you’re anything like us, it’s “treat” all the way. Plus, does anyone really want to be tricked when they’re faced with the option of eating a Halloween goodie? Considering this is the only time of year it’s (kind of) acceptable to binge on candy, we're all about indulging our cravings for sweet, sugary goodness.
While Halloween candy is arguably the easiest thing to hand out to the neighborhood kids, it’s certainly not the only treat worth exploring this time of year – especially if you’re hosting a costume party. There are so many ways you can get creative in the kitchen to make cute and spooky edibles for your dessert table. And here’s the kicker – you don’t even need to stray from your vegan meal plan to do it.
As proof, we found five vegan Halloween treats to serve at your costume party ranging from super healthy to downright sinful. Try one if you dare!

These look like some fun ideas. I may even allow the kids to get involved. The Frankenstein treats are awesome.
