How to Put Together an Easy Vegan Easter Basket

A little late to the Easter game this year? The big day is less than a week away, and if you’re reading this, maybe you haven’t stocked up on treats for your little ones (or big ones!) yet.

But don’t worry: We have your tips for a simple and sweet vegan Easter basket!

While it’s probably a little too late to order specialty items online (unless you’ve got Amazon Prime!) or road trip to Vegan Treats, you can still put together an awesome, all-vegan Easter basket from stuff found right at the local store.

Here are a few of our favorite finds from convenience stores, supermarkets, and more. Vegan candy is everywhere these days, so bring on the sugar rush!
