Halloween is my favorite holiday and this year I have been enjoying lots of different vegan Halloween candy! How could you go wrong with chocolate, marshmallows, and candy corn?!?!

A couple weekends ago I hit up my favorite candy store in San Francisco, Miette (the Hayes Valley location), and bought some Halloween treats. Crystal (owner of Violet Sweet Shoppe) was working and she showed me all the vegan candy they had in stock. My favorite thing that I bought was a dark chocolate skull with Mexican ancho & chipotle chilies, and cinnamon. Chocolate with a bit of heat…..yes please!

I was super stoked to see on Cosmo’s Vegan Shoppe Twitterfeed that they had Sweet & Sara’s vegan marshmallow ghosts in stock for Halloween. I quickly ordered some and tried to patiently wait for them to arrive in the mail. The wait was well worth it because when the ghosts came in they were super cute and delicious. I gave one to my mom and she didn’t believe me that it was vegan; she thought it was too good to be true!

Halloween would not be Halloween without candy corn. Finding vegan candy corn can be quite a task though. Thankfully Melisser of the Urban Housewife came up with an awesome vegan candy corn recipe. I made some for Smack Dahlia’s birthday (she saw Melisser’s recipe in the October issue of Bust magazine and said she wanted some for her birthday).
