Halloween is a favorite time of year for Babe -- all that black cat imagery really warms her heart. The thought of costumes, festive parties and candy also get her purring. Whether you're throwing a big bash or staying in, it's fun to prep a little feast. A bowl of crunchy snacks are helpful to balance the blood sugar and keep revelers sober.
Rhythm Chips are a great brand of raw sweet potato chips, filled with fiber and vitamins. Late July just launched a new line of gluten-free
chips, and Babe recently discovered
PopCorners, a popcorn-flavored chip line (both versions in sea salt are vegan). Halloween is the best excuse to gorge on candy. If you're expecting trick-or-treaters, make sure to check PETA's Accidentally Vegan list for a bevy of
choices like Swedish Fish and Charms pops. Another idea is to offer healthy kid-size beverages (
O.N.E. coconut water fruit punch, if you can find it). For the adults, Babe would also toss some Next Organics chocolate-covered
nuts into the candy bowl. Organic Nectars raw cacao
bars aren't cheap, but they're awfully yummy, even the white chocolate. And of course, if you're feeling really ambitious, it's not Halloween without
candy corn.
