4 Easy Vegan Halloween Treats for Your Classroom!

Classroom parties are a great way to bond with students and make holidays more special. They’re also usually overflowing with delicious treats. Unfortunately, many Halloween candies are all trick and no treat for the animals used to make them. When looking for goodies this year, avoid cruel, animal-harming ingredients, such as gelatin, carmine, and confectioner’s glaze. You can even help parent volunteers by providing them with a list of animal-friendly treats that they can contribute.

Introduce your students to these fun vegan sweets, and encourage them to make kind choices that help animals this year:

Dum Dums Pumpkins

Scary Spider Cupcakes

Your students will have a great time eating these eerie cupcakes.

Ghost Apple Treats

“A” is for apple and adorable! These ghostly treats are also healthy and fun. Simply wrap an apple or another fruit of your choice in white tissue paper, add a scary face, and tie up the top.

Pretzel Broom Sticks

Teachers are pencil fairies every day, so this treat is delicious and practical. Your students probably won’t ask you for a pencil for at least an entire day after receiving this goodie. We recommend using Snyder’s of Hanover Gluten-Free Pretzel Sticks.
