Halloween is arguably the most wonderful time of the year. However, if you are vegan, it seems like you can not ever catch a break as far as what candy to eat on the spookiest of holidays. Animal products take over the candy industry, and it may surprise you what all to look out for on food labels. For example: gelatin, milk fat, refined candy sugar, carmine and lard. That seems like a lot of ingredients, right? Well, don't worry, because here's a list of vegan candy that are great for the Halloween Season.
