Frighteningly Fun Vegan Halloween Foods

It’s the night of Halloween and you are just about to watch some spooky films or host a ghostly gathering, but wait, where are all the scary snacks?! Halloween candy to hand out to trick or treaters, or creepy cupcakes with orange icing are essential for making it an even more fun night.

An evil laugh isn’t the only thing I can help you with, I have put together a few vegan Halloween treats you’ll certainly want to try out. Below you will find recipes if you want to start from scratch, or some items you can find in-store if you don’t have much time.

Watch out for Frankenstein though, I hear he secretly loves pumpkin pie!

Vegan Halloween Cookies

Cookies are the perfect addition to a movie night, if you’ve got a sweet tooth then you’ll definitely want some around. As a vegan, it’s often said that baking can be tricky without eggs, and might all go wrong. Don’t be discouraged though as there are alternatives that will prove to be just as easy.

Halloween Cut-Out Cookies

For our bakers out there, this is a vegan and gluten-free recipe that doesn’t require many ingredients to taste delicious. A simple and quick method that you can be shared with friends and enjoyed by many.

Cupcakes

Baking vegan cakes can be frowned upon, sometimes it’s seen as an impossible task if your recipe doesn’t involve certain ingredients. However, vegan baking is being more recognized as more egg/honey substitutes become available. It might take a bit of practice, or reading over the method a few times, but don’t let that stop you!

Vegan Halloween Cupcakes

Bringing these out to the party will certainly turn some heads, and the smell is sure to awaken even the fussiest of vampires. You can get creative with your decorations and it is a fun way to enjoy your favorite dessert.

Venus Fly Trap Cupcakes

To liven up any room, I strongly recommend this recipe. Never fear though, the only thing getting trapped are these delicious treats in your mouth! All the ingredients are easy to find and those strawberries sitting in your fridge will be coming to life on top of a Halloween-themed cupcake.

Halloween Candy

You’re halfway into the movie, telling the main character not to go through the creaky door when all of a sudden you hear a knock. Before you answer the adorable trick or treaters, what vegan candies are in the bowl?

There are plenty of alternatives to offer that are just as exciting and tasty but don’t contain any gelatin, non-vegan E numbers, or beeswax. These are some animal-free suggestions:

Annie's Bunnies and Bats Fruit Snacks

Made with no GMOs or synthetic colors, Annie’s Fruit Snacks are organic and gluten-free goodies that are full of flavors. If you manage not to eat a whole packet, these would be brilliant to share around.

Free 2 B Dark Chocolate Butter Cups

Guacamole

Guacamole is one of the most essential of them all, and one of life’s most simple pleasures is how it doesn’t take long to prepare but tastes delightful. It can be found in many grocery stores near you, but it’s important to check the ingredients before buying as some do contain milk.

Simple Vegan Guacamole

Get the bag of chips ready because this recipe is the perfect accompaniment. A creamy, flavorful texture that is hard not to fall in love with! This recipe involves other vegetables and seasonings to add extra taste and healthiness.

Hummus

Another staple dip that is delicious and goes with many foods. Hummus has a moreish taste that is easy to create in your own home. Whether you make a classic recipe or add in other ingredients to give it a twist, there’s something for everyone.

The tin of chickpeas you’re unsure what to do with can now bring you a whole lotta’ joy! It requires a few ingredients but only takes 15 minutes to knock up and then can be used for a dip or even in sandwiches.

Stuffed Mushroom Eyeballs

All this sugar will have you up all night until there are no more scary films to watch, so we’ve got to balance it a bit. Just because something is healthier, doesn’t mean it can’t be exciting or creative, which is why stuffed mushroom eyeballs are such a fun idea. You can add in other healthy components and mix it all up to your liking.

Vegan Stuffed Mushroom Eyeballs

I’m not telling you to hand these out to trick or treaters, but once they catch onto the delectable aroma, it might be time to exchange the candy. These mushroom eyeballs can be prepped and cooked in 30 minutes, making them a great idea when you’re on the clock.

If you’ve got kids, this is also a fun way of getting them to join in and eat a nutritious but interesting appetizer.

Vegan Pie

In between all the sugary delights, it’s good to bring in a healthier choice. Pies are full of goodness and when mixed with different veggies, taste even better. You can make pies with your favorite meat-free chunks or opt for a vegetable pie, either way, you may not have any leftovers!

Vegetable Pie

If the puff pastry doesn’t tempt you, maybe the assortment of potatoes, mushrooms, and broccoli will. Packed with nutrients and spices, you’ll get a real boost with this inexpensive and easy recipe. If you’re at a party and looking for something more savory, this pie is a great choice.

Pumpkin Pie

There is no other way to round off this list of Halloween foods than with a traditional pumpkin pie. Halloween wouldn’t be the same without it and you can even add in extra sweetness with some vegan whipped cream. There is plenty to go around and anyone who tries some will be astounded that desserts can taste just as good while being vegan.

Graveyard Mousse Pots

Sometimes the thought of a graveyard can creep people out, but there isn’t anything freaky about these pots. Made with chocolate and a crumble topping you are given a divine taste that lacks no creativity with the way it looks.

Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treats

I can report that Mr. Frankenstein approved of these himself. These really taste as good as they look and are a brilliant idea for kids who want to get involved in the creations.
