Thanks to a previous Vegetarian Journal article titled “Homemade Vegan Holiday Candy,” by Mimi Clark, you can make vegan candy in your own home. Try preparing Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, Homemade “Tootsie Rolls,” Chocolatey Peppermint Wafers, Coco-Almond Candies, and Nut Brittle. Consider giving some away as gifts to co-workers, friends, family, etc. during the holiday season.

and treasure to non-profits whose causes they believe in. This year, please
consider volunteering with VRG, by e-mailing [email protected]
Or give to us directly at https://www.vrg.org/donate. A one-time or recurring

our advocacy.
