Yes, you can find newfangled vegan creamers, cheeses, and even ice creams in stores these days. And when it comes to Halloween, it turns out that lots of your favorite candies are already vegan-friendly. Any of these 13 sweets will put a big smile on everyone's face.
Justin's Dark Chocolate Mini Peanut Butter Cups ($6): Skip the Reese's in favor of these vegan, organic sweets instead.
Airheads ($8): Chewy Airheads taffy is a real treat. The white flavor is just one of the many mysterious things you'll encounter on October 31.
Wonka Pixy Stix ($3): Terrify the parents in your neighborhood by handing out colorful sticks of pure sugar. Ethical? On Halloween, we say yes.
Chick-O-Stick Ghosts ($3): Chick-o-Sticks may be old-fashioned, but the chewy blend of coconut and peanuts is always a welcome treat.
Skittles ($5): Each flavor of Skittles in this variety pack is vegan... we dare you to try each one!
Cocomels ($6): These individually wrapped coconut milk caramels dusted with salt are so exquisite, you'll see parents sneaking them out of their kid's Halloween haul.
Smarties ($3): You'll feel like a Smartie when you see trick-or-treaters grinning at the handful of vegan candies you drop in their bags.
Dum Dums ($3): There are two places where you can typically find Dum Dums: in Halloween candy bowls and office waiting rooms. But no matter where you get your fix, you can rest easy knowing they're vegan.
Sour Patch Kids and Swedish Fish ($16): Sour Patch Kids *and* Swedish Fish are vegan, so this multi-pack has all of your bases covered.
Hubba Bubba Bubble Blast Chewing Gum ($2): This gum blows really, really good bubbles. Better yet, it's totally cruelty-free.
Sweet Tarts Skulls and Bones ($3): Candy skull and bone shapes in pastel colors never tasted so good (and vegan).
Jolly Rancher Spooky Sweets Lollipops ($3): Stamped with Halloween images like jack-o'-lanterns and skulls, these colorful, fruity pops will liven up anyone's spooky night.
Twizzlers Pull & Peel Orange and Blackberry ($3): These are delightfully on-theme with blackberry and orange ropes twisted together.
