Halloween Doesn't Have to be Mean

Want to have a cruelty-free Halloween celebration? Boy do we have ya covered.

Check out these links for luscious homemade treats:
Fork and Beans - now you can make your favorite candy bars at home in a humane and healthier way, also sans gluten.
Bittersweet - if you don't own one of Hannah's awesome dessert cookbooks, you can still make some of her creations by checking out her blog. I linked to her Chocolate Candy Cups.
Eat Drink Better - recipes which go beyond chocolate, you can even make your own candy corn.

We need more than candy to sustain us, even on Halloween:
Vegetarians in Paradise - hosting your own party? A Halloween-themed party menu all put together for you.
If you have Party Vegan (you still have time to buy it or check it out from your local library), Robin has a section just for Halloween.

Homemade not your thing or want to know what to hand out to the neighborhood kiddos? Lists of candy that is accidentally or intentionally vegan:
VegNews
PETA Kids
 Our lovely friends over at Pangea have you covered for ready made treats. My kids love their pumpkin cookies.

Hosting a veg Halloween party or handing out special candy or have an alternative way to celebrate the holiday? We'd love to hear from you.

Friday Fun
