1. Dietary Restrictions
Always check for common allergens. Many vegan treats are nut-free, gluten-free, or soy-free, which is great for kids with allergies. Look for treats that clearly state their ingredients to ensure you meet everyone’s dietary needs.

Consider what flavors kids and adults enjoy. Popular flavors for Halloween include chocolate, pumpkin spice, and fruity options like berry. You can also combine flavors for unique treats. Treats like pumpkin spice energy bites or chocolate cauldron cupcakes will delight everyone!

While it’s Halloween, parents may prefer healthier options for their kids. Look for vegan treats made with natural ingredients and reduced sugar. Treats like pumpkin spice donuts or spooky stuffed peppers can be nutritious while still fitting the Halloween theme.
Pro Tip: Whenever you can, involve kids in the decision-making process. Let them help choose the treats or even assist in making them!
