  Primal Strips: Smoky and chewy, these vegan snacks are similar to the “jerky” sticks or strips one finds in filling stations and convenience stores -- but of course these are much better. They come individually wrapped, so they work well for festivals and special events, hikes, and even Hallowe’en treats.

  We recommend:
  
  Chocolate Decadence. This small, vegan company doesn’t try to be an animal-advocacy group network; they just offer what they know best: excellent, fairly-traded chocolate. Don’t miss the latest: including exquisite little chocolate-covered caramel pieces, and nice, big coconut balls--the vegan version of Mounds bars you had as a kid!

  We recommend:
