Halloween is probably one of the best times of the year for college kids—it’s the first time since 5th grade that we get to dress up and eat tons of candy without anyone to judge us—and with no parents this time around! But for those with dairy allergies, it can become a bit of a bummer to sift through all the bags and bowls to find something without milk. Fear not, friend! We’ve rounded up the top 12 dairy-free Halloween candy options.
1. Starburst
Who doesn’t love unwrapping whole bags of Starburst and cementing your mouth closed? Kidding aside, Starburst are the perfect sweet-sour-chewy combination.
2. Sweetarts
Ironically called Sweetarts, these great little sour candies always seem to disappear as fast as trick or treaters can pick them up.
3. Smarties
Smarties are the sweeter, paler pastel cousins of Sweetarts. Very easy to eat about 1000 of these in one sitting.
4. Laffy Taffy
What’s chewy, sweet, and quacks? Laffy Taffy Duck. Ha.
5. Lemonheads
These are such a favorite—sweet outer coating, sour, chewy center.
6. Skittles
Taste the rainbow! ‘Nuff said.
7. Sour Patch Kids
First they’re sweet, then they’re sour, then they’re gone and you tastebuds are burnt off. #worthit
8. Oreos!
So, not technically a candy, but you gotta break up the fruity/sour thing we have going on, right? Absolutely no dairy—and they’re vegan, too!
9. Twizzlers
Nature’s sweet, edible straw.
10. Jolly Ranchers
Have you ever wondered what the tastiest way to accidentally cement your mouth shut is?
11. Nerds
Aren’t we all nerds? These spooky little guys sport some great festive colors.
12. Swedish Fish
Swedish? No. Fish? Not technically. Delicious? Definitely.
13. Welch’s Fruit Snacks
Fruit snacks made with real fruit and vitamin C, in some properly spooky shapes. Perfect for trick-or-treating, or just treating yourself!
Go forth into the world, dairy-free friends, and enjoy your Halloween parties, trick-or-treating, or just buying a bag of candy for yourself!
