Post-Halloween, and I'm sort of glad that I didn't buy candy for trick-or-treaters this year. After all, most "normal" candy is either gross or not vegan, and our neighborhood hardly gets any trick-or-treaters. Maybe it's because we live in an apartment complex, but I think it has more to do with the mass migration of kids from the awesomeness of "real" trick-or-treating to the safety and homogeneity of the Halloween mall events. Dressing up and going to the mall to trick-or-treat? What the heck. I don't really care about the holiday, but I do remember neighbors going all out to make it fun for kids. The creepy old lady who would pretend to be Peter Rabbit's ancient-practically-zombified old mother? The dentist dad who gave out candy aaaaand toothbrushes? Come on. Awesome.
So candy. What kinds of candy do you like?
I don't really do a lot of candy any more. I love white chocolate, but it's hard to come by and sometimes I don't want to have to put a lot of effort into things.
One thing I've recently found is this ginger candy. I got it in Little Tokyo:
It's a tasty, chewy, very spicy candy. I like it a lot, but it's more of a palette cleanser than an enjoyable treat.
I guess I'm not into candy much anymore. I'd rather eat a cinnamon roll or some trail mix with the odd chocolate chip.
What about you all? How do you get your vegan candy fix?
