Vegan Halloween Candy Guide: Inclusive Treats for All
Halloween is just around the corner, and I wanted to share some ideas for making it a fun and inclusive experience for everyone. Whether you have kids with allergies or dietary restrictions, there are plenty of delicious and safe candy options available.
Here are some things to look for in the ingredients that would make candy not vegan:
Dairy: Often listed as milk, milkfat, and whey
Confectioner’s glaze: Derived from insects, also known as “shellac”
Carmine: Derived from insects
Gelatin: Commonly used in gummy candy, made from boiled tendons, ligaments, or skin of pigs and cows
There are so many options for vegan candy out there and even some that are accidentally vegan.
