Halloween is right up there with Christmas and birthdays in terms of favourite holidays. Here are recipes and tips for a devilishly delicious All Hallows Eve.
Vegan Caramel Apples
The Candy Chefs out there will be laughing…
All day Saturday, I slaved in my kitchen to find the best vegan caramel apple recipe there is.
As it turns out, there don’t seem to be any recipes for the kind of caramel apples most of us are used to. The kind of caramel apples I grew up with are heavy on the butter and cream, creating an opaque, creamy, tan-coloured mass. With caramel like that, who even eats the apple?
So after learning that caramel stays liquid at room temperature (and pools all over the counter) and that cornstarch absolutely cannot be mixed into already-hot caramel, I tinkered with a few recipes and am now proud to bring you Vegan Caramel Apples. They are more toffee-like in flavour and texture, but the addition of non-dairy condensed milk really helps with the colour and creaminess.
Vegetarian and Vegan Halloween delves into what it takes to have a cruelty-free holiday.
For Halloween recipes, try a black and orange theme:
- Black Beans in Mango Sauce
- Black Bean Dip with pita triangles, baby carrots, and orange bell peppers
- The Ultimate Vegetarian Nachos or homemade pizza with cheddar and lots of olives
...or try other classic Halloween treats:
- Mummy Dogs (using vegetarian hot dogs, of course)
- Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Have a scrumptious and safe Happy Halloween!
