Best Vegan Halloween Lollies for Trick-or-Treaters and Parties

Best Vegan Halloween Lollies for Trick-or-Treaters and Parties

We’re already halfway through October, and Halloween is quickly approaching!

If you’re preparing for trick-or-treaters or planning a party, it’s the perfect time to think about your lolly selection. This year, why not try the latest trend and create a vegan lolly salad – a fun and colourful mix of sweets that everyone can enjoy, whether they’re vegan or not!

When choosing lollies for Halloween, it’s important to be mindful of certain ingredients that aren’t vegan-friendly, like gelatin and carmine. Gelatin, made from animal collagen, is often used to give lollies a chewy texture, while carmine (also known as cochineal) is a red dye derived from insects.

Thankfully, there are plenty of vegan alternatives available that skip these ingredients, allowing everyone to enjoy the treats without compromising on taste.

Here are some vegan-friendly options to hand out to the door knockers or mix into a bowl to create the most amazing vegan lolly salad.

Keep an eye out for their own brand sweets, which include lolly pops and sour treats that are perfect for mixing into your lolly collection. As always, double-check the labels for any hidden animal-derived ingredients.
