In case you looking for an easy to make Vegan Halloween Candy you must try this recipe – Pumpkin Twizzlers one word, DANGEROUS!
I had some pumpkin left over after I made a huge jar of pumpkin puree last week so I was wondering what to make with it. Then I ended up with these little weird looking but deliciously flavorful and extra chewy twizzlers, YUM! This is a perfect treat or afternoon scanck.

Here’s how you make them:
2 cup chopped raw pumpkin
7 figs
1/2 cup soft dates
1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
1/8 tsp nutmeg
Soak dates and figs for 30 minutes. Drain the water, place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Pipe lines on a dehydrator sheet (makes 1 tray) by using a star tipped pipping tip, pipe lines going from one end of the tray to the end. Place in the dehydrator and dehydrate at 140°F 2 hours. Decrease heat to 115°F and continue to dehydrate until done (approximately for 5 to 6 hours) twizzlers sould be pliable, but not sticky. Once dried out and firm, let them cool. Then cut strips into bite sized pieces or whatever size you prefer and put into a jar or zip lock bag.
If you don’t have a dehydrator you can also make this in the oven. Just make sure you set the oven to a lowest possible temperature and left the door slightly open. It will take longer, but you’ll get there.
Enjoy!
PS: My Halloween Recipe Storm is over, and I truly hope you’ll love these recipes as much as we did. Happy trick and treating!

Do you use raw chopped pumpkin or is it roasted?
Hi Cassie, I used raw pumpkin
Wow again. first I see pumpkin smoothies and now twizzlers. So impressed with the pumpkin creativity this season!
Hi Nicola, I love making typically “unhealthy” treats into raw, healthy treats. It’s such a fun challenge, especially creating something with pumpkin. Last year I made a couple of juices and smoothies by using pumpkin but this year I decided to go mad about;) and throw into everything. Thank you so much, I’m so happy you like them!! xo, Krisztina
