Halloween is almost upon us! What are some fun and healthy alternatives to the traditional sugar-laden candies? We will take a look at some great alternatives to Halloween candy!
What is candy?
This is an important step in the process of candy making, as it is essential to prevent contamination of the candy. Some types of candy include; chocolates, caramels, and truffles. There are also many types of candy that are vegan, including: saltwater taffy, peppermint bark, and, gummy candy. The term vegan is short for vegetarian and describes a person who does not eat meat. It is also a type of diet that does not use animal products and includes dairy products.
How to Make Vegan Candy
This is probably one of my most favorite candies for Halloween. It’s quite simple to make. Simply coat the inside of the candy mold with buttercream frosting and coat the outside with regular chocolate frosting. If you don’t want to coat the candy mold with frosting you can just use regular chocolate frosting. Ingredients are simple. You need unsweetened coconut flakes, coconut oil, salt, pureed pumpkin, pureed sweet potato, vanilla extract, and semisweet chocolate chips. The only things you’ll have to buy is coconut flakes and chocolate chips.
Halloween Safety
There are many ways to trick or treat safely this Halloween. There are also a number of ways to be safe during the holiday season. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 43% of American children will get sick, which will cause many to miss school. Many people will spend the night at friends or family’s houses, which can put them at risk for contracting the flu. Many people will put candy in their kids’ stockings and leave them under the Christmas tree, which can increase the risk of stomachaches, and cause kids to lose their sense of smell. Some people might even forget to clean out their own candy dishes. So, be sure to set up your plan before you go, and you should do the same when you’re collecting candy. Ask a trusted adult to help you look for safety measures, and make sure that you ask for treats in only appropriate places, and keep your head on a swivel. Have your kids and friends wear a white T-shirt, so that it will be easier to see if they are ill. Make sure that you plan ahead, and know where your candy is before the holiday begins. Also, don’t leave your kids or friends unattended or with any strangers. If you’re looking for safer treats for your kids, consider giving them healthy options such as carrots and apples. Or you can even make your own treats.

What Are Vegan Candy Standards?
The American Candy Association (ACA) is a nonprofit organization that sets voluntary standards for candies. The ACA has established three different levels of candy, which fall into four categories: “made with” (including imitation), “artificially flavored” (such as chocolate), “artificially colored” (such as food color), and “artificially sweetened” (a sweetener such as aspartame). Some candies can be made into a vegan-friendly version, but they must have one of the artificial sweeteners or coloring or flavoring. Artificial coloring and flavoring can include dyes, pigments, and natural plant extracts. So, how can you be sure the candy you buy is vegan? The easiest way is to look for a label or one of the following:
