BOO! Trick-or-Treat Yo’self This Halloween With 25 Vegan Candy Recipes! – One Green Planet

There’s no question about it – the best part of Halloween is getting to eat as much candy as you can possibly stuff yourself with in the span of 24 hours.

From simple four-ingredient truffles to luscious layered chocolate bars, these 25 vegan candy recipes are sure to put the “treat” in “trick-or-treat.”

2. Raw Chocolate Coconut Balls (Just Like Bounty Truffles!)

What better way to celebrate Halloween than with a sweet treat that includes coconut and chocolate? Bounty bars are a popular chocolatey-coconutty confection, but why buy a bag of those store-bought candies when you can make your own amazing Bounty Truffles?

3. Two Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

These Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are only TWO ingredients (peanut butter and chocolate, hello!), so easy to make, and way better than any candy that comes wrapped in orange plastic.

7. Raw Vegan Twix Bars With Banana Date Caramel

Even though regular Twix bars don’t have a single banana molecule in them, these Raw Vegan Twix Bars With Banana Date Caramel are too good to pass up! Sometimes it’s worth it to break tradition.

8. Almond Joy Bars

If you love Almond Joy candy bars, you’ll go nuts (or almonds!) for these homemade Almond Joy Bars.

Almond Joy better step up its game!

9. ‘Milk’ Chocolate Bars

Sweet, creamy decadence in the shape we have come to recognize as holy: the chocolate bar. These ‘Milk’ Chocolate Bars don’t actually contain any milk, but they taste just like the milk chocolate bars you used to greedily inhale when you were a kid.

These Clean Eating Pumpkin and Pecan Fudge squares will literally melt in your mouth! They have the smooth texture of traditional fudge but are packed with crunchy bits of pumpkin seeds and pecans.

Make two batches: one to share and one to keep all to yourself!
