Happy almost-Halloween!

I'm feeling a little under the weather today, but I wanted to hurry up and share a few Halloween treats with you -  because the day will be upon us before we know it! Whether you're hosting a party, attending a potluck, need a few host(ess) gifts or you're handing out treats to the kidlets, I'm sure you'll be able to find a treat or two here that won't be too tricky for vegans or others with dietary restrictions that might prevent them from enjoying traditional holiday snacks!

On the Foodista blog, a host of vegan Halloween treats are featured, from cupcakes to candied applies to vampire bat-shaped tofu cutlets!

Bryanna at the has a collection of vegan Halloween recipes that include beignets, pumpkin doughnuts as well as PETA's list of commercially-produced candies and treats that are "accidentally vegan."

My old standby VegWeb offers user-submitted recipes that range from the green Slime Smoothie to Dinosaur Eggs and Pumpkin Cider Bread.

Just trying to find some pumpkin recipes? The Post Punk Kitchen has super recipes for muffins, cupcakes, pumpkin butter and even waffles! Who doesn't love waffles?
