Vegan Halloween Guide: Costumes, Candy, And Trick Or Treating

Halloween is a time for telling scary stories with the lights off, for braving haunted houses, and coming up with the greatest costume concept ever created. But nothing says Halloween quite like donning your epic costume and going trick-or-treating.

When you’re vegan, though, the treat often ends up being the trick—what with the multitude of potentially suspect animal-derived ingredients in most Halloween candy.

Then there’s the issue of what to wear? It’s happened to all of us—you know Halloween is coming and figure you have plenty of time. Then all of a sudden it’s All Hallows’ Eve Eve and you’ve got nothin‘. You need something simple and quick, but you still want it to be at least halfway decent, and—if at all possible—convey something about veganism.

So, what’s a vegan supposed to get their scare on? Let’s find out! Check out these spook-tastic guides to having the most epically vegan Halloween ever! tweet this
