Introduction
Halloween is my favorite holiday because that’s the only day of the year when my dark sense of humor is somewhat normal. Yet again, many popular series and movies use it, so I don’t get why it’s considered odd.
If you’re into making Halloween goodies, make these vegan Halloween recipes today, including but not limited to the following.
- Pumpkin Caramel Chocolates
- Spiderweb Cake
- Pumpkin Fruit Tray
- Frankenstein Pie
- Halloween Toffee Apples
I hope you find enough excuses to binge scary movies and listen to my Halloween Spotify playlist.
1. Pumpkin Caramel Chocolates
One of the most common Halloween decorations I see is some form of a skull or skeleton. Try these pumpkin caramel chocolate skulls from spabettie.

I loved drawing spiderwebs growing up. Here is a vegan spiderweb cake from The Baking Fairy.

3. Pumpkin Fruit Tray
Earlier this month, I made a pumpkin charcuterie board inspired by Keeping the Peas’ fruit tray. However, I didn’t use citrus because one of my cousins is allergic to citrus fruits.
4. Frankenstein Pie
In case you aren’t aware of any famous female literature, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein.
Have some vegan Frankenstein pie from Pretty Pies. Go ahead and bake more vegan pies if you so desire.
5. Halloween Toffee Apples
When I was little, I was haunted by the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and even had nightmares about her being in one of our old computers. I blame my older brother for that.
Try some vegan poison apples from My Goodness Kitchen.
6. Zombie Brain Cupcakes
My BFF sometimes asks me what I would do if we had a zombie apocalypse. I have no idea if that would ever happen.
Either way, make some zombie brain cupcakes from Bear Plate. Then, bake more cupcakes.
