Spooky Treats

1. Candylabs’ Spooky Eyeballs

These passionfruit flavoured treats are a fun way to get some fresh and crunchy treats this Halloween! Candylab is a Montreal-based company who designs and handcrafts (video) all their candy from scratch. They release limited time treats for some holidays, like Halloween, and this one is vegan, nuts-free, peanuts-free, and dairy-free. We’ve certainly got our eyes on this spooky candy!

This gummy creation combines two coiled snakes, one sweet, the other sour! Designed to be eaten at once, or pulled apart, they come in six wild flavours including cherry + orange, apple + lemon, and blueberry + blackcurrant. Available in a variety of sizes. Munch them before they bite your tongue!

3. Hershey’s Halloween Kisses

Once you’ve had the satisfaction of piercing one of these classic milk chocolate kisses and releasing the delicious red liquid, strawberry creme filling, it’s easy to see why you get addicted to it, like a vampire. Suck this red liquid to join the vampire family!

6. Sweet Maple Candies Bats and Bones

These Halloween scary candies are available in the colours of black, orange, and white. This collection of bats and bones is the perfect addition to a spooky sack. Bloody Bones, Dingbats, and Zebra Bones are additional alternatives if you don’t want to mix your bats and bones.

7. Squish Brain Freeze

Icy blue brain gummies that taste like blueberries with blue liquid centers that explode when you bite into them! These 120g bags are also available as sugar coated Blizzard Brains, and regular sweet and sour strawberry Brains. Squish is another Montreal-founded candy company that proves time again that you don’t have to be a kid to love candy.

8. Squish Vegan Alien Invasion

It can be easy for someone to overlook aliens this time of year. If you’re not careful, these vegan gummies with natural colours (from blackcurrant, black carrot, and tumeric) will abduct your tastebuds. They’re available in four sizes, the largest of which is a whopping 2kg. Thanks, Squish!

9. Kit Kat Breaking Bones

The satisfying crunch of the classic Kit Kat wafer takes on a whole other meaning with this spooky white creme version. Their individual format makes them perfectly sized for popping in a trick-or-treat bag, or keeping in your pocket to pull out when needed.

Kit Kat and Smarties have come together to create an adorable and fun buildable Haunted House! Create a beautiful new (and delicious) home for this new family in the neighbourhood of Halloween classic monsters such as Frankenstein, a witch, a mummy, a bat, or a vampire. Made of dark and milk chocolate Kit Kat bars, decorate this house to your taste with orange and black Smarties and orange icing. Happy haunting!

If you’re interested in more wholesome and healthy Halloween options or allergen-free Halloween alternatives, we remind you of these two posts.
