Contest win free Twinkies Vegan Honey Cinnabons gift certificate peanut butter cups cherry cheese danishes
A few weeks ago, I had a life changing moment—I happened upon an online vegan bakery that sells Twinkies. You heard me right...vegan Twinkies! Finding the veganized version of my favorite childhood treat is almost as great a discovery as Howard Carter finding King Tut's tomb (in my humble opinion).
The magical place that I found these creamed filled yellow cakes of vegan goodness is called Vegan Honey. Not only does Vegan Honey sell Fauxstess Twinkies, they also have Cinnamon Sticky Bombs, Cherry Cheese Danishes, Giant Peanut Butter Cups, and much more! Check out everything they have to offer here.
Here is what Vegan Honey owner, Kymberlie, has to say about her delicious creations:
"Raised on a small animal sanctuary, I became an animal activist and vegan at a super young age. I have always had a sweet tooth, and my cravings for yummy baked goods like Twinkies and Cinnabons was out of control! Finally, I took some flour, a bit of sugar and began to bake all the things I wanted to eat!"
So if you have a sweet tooth like me, I highly recommend that you take part in our contest to win a $40 gift certificate to Vegan Honey!
All you have to do for a chance to win is comment below naming your favorite vegan treat.
Simple right? The contest ends November 27th, and the winner will be chosen by November 30th.
xoxo-Lara

Smarties! they're still vegan, right? But with this new discovery of vegan twinkies, I think my favorite treat has changed!
Posted by: Stephanie at November 6, 2007 4:56 PMi highly suggest everyone take part and order from vegan honey!! i live with the cook and can confirm that all her goodies are amazingly yummy!!!
Posted by: kristen at November 6, 2007 5:01 PMMy favorite would have to be vegan chocolate chip brownies
Posted by: Autumn at November 6, 2007 5:03 PMI love Mamba vegan candies.
They're so delicious and animal friendly.
I love Mamba vegan candies.
They're so delicious and animal friendly.
My favorite vegan treat is Oreos. Because they're really really good, and since vegans can't eat chocolate very much because a lot of cghocolate has milk in it, Oreos satisfy my chocolate cravings.
You can also get Oreos just about anywhjere so this vegan treat isn't hard to obtain if you live in a small town.
You have to love chocolate cola cupcakes with vegan icing and sprinkles, best vegan snack ever invented :)
Posted by: Kayla at November 6, 2007 5:31 PMMy favorite vegan treat are chocolate chip muffins! :D I make them without milk or eggs or any dairy and they are SOOOOO GOOD! MMMmmmm...!
Posted by: Kiley at November 6, 2007 6:17 PMtotally those sugary buns that Sticky Finger's in DC sells. Lara, you know what I'm talking about. ohhhh yeah.
Posted by: dw at November 6, 2007 7:16 PMOreos. I thought it was super sweet that on Holloween I walked around with my friends that were tick-or-treating and they felt bad that I couldn't eat any candy so they dug in their bags and gave me their oreos. =]
Posted by: Lauren Gmur at November 6, 2007 7:48 PMYour recipe for pumpking spice cupcakes is THE BEST.!
I made them once and I was like, "YES.!" when I tasted them.!
Posted by: Cheyne at November 6, 2007 8:59 PMMy mouth watered when I read this article.. a twinkie? REALLY?
My favorite vegan treat would have to be... I don't know... fruit? haha.
Posted by: Nova at November 6, 2007 9:02 PMAny chocolate which is 85% cocoa or higher... like ten or fifteen percent away from being baking chocolate. I melt for dark chocolate.
Posted by: Jack at November 6, 2007 10:17 PMMy favorite vegan snack is 'Tings'. Not only they taste great and are addicting, but they are also healthy for you. Also, it's easy to get a friend hooked on them. X3
Posted by: kitty at November 7, 2007 2:35 AMmy roommate just made vegan pumpkin carob chip cookies that were amazing.
Posted by: Lucy at November 7, 2007 3:31 AMI love Late July's Organic Vegan Vanilla Bean with Green Tea cookies. Yum!
Posted by: Amy at November 7, 2007 3:54 AMVEGGIE BEARS! theyre so cool!
Posted by: Emily Diprose at November 7, 2007 7:20 AMI luv vegan muffins!
Posted by: Sammy at November 7, 2007 7:41 AMmy fave vegan snack is faux chicken patties cut up and put into a salad with veggies,tofu, and fruits...oh and some kind of nuts.... yummy!!!
Posted by: cheryl at November 7, 2007 10:50 AMI was on a retreat this weekend (I practice Tibetan Buddhism in the Gelug tradition) and had this honey oat dessert type bread that was just amazing. Even better was this curried butternut squash soup but, I don't know if that counts as a snack :)
Posted by: Chris Walwanis at November 7, 2007 11:39 AMI don't know how many people consider sop a snack but, I was on retreat this weekend (I practice Gelug Tibetan Buddhism) and had this curried butternut sqash soup which is my new vegan fave. Curried tofu with cashews and veggies from Chines restaurants is awesome too but that's number 2 now ha ha :)
Posted by: Chris at November 7, 2007 11:42 AMVanilla Almond Bark Tofutti topped off with crumbled Newman-O's chocolate cookies. Yummmmm!
Posted by: kelly g. at November 7, 2007 11:48 AMI love dried mango slices and vanila rice or soy ice cream. : )
Posted by: Athena M at November 7, 2007 1:16 PMeither oreos or peanut butter crackers
Posted by: brittany nicole at November 7, 2007 2:39 PMMy favorite vegan treat of all time has to be Cookie avalanche ice cream from purely decadant with crushed up oreos and peanut butter =PP
Posted by: Michael DiMartino at November 7, 2007 3:41 PMI think that any vegan snack is delicious, just the feeling of saving millions of animals is enough for me. :D
Posted by: Jenna D. at November 7, 2007 5:00 PMI definetly have to say oreos. When I first went vegan i didnt know how much was out there so i practically lived off of them. And scince I can rarely have chocolate because its almost always made with milk, it great to be able to snack on these :]
Posted by: bridget bernadotte at November 7, 2007 5:21 PMWell, I can't find vegan treats in my grocery store, so I make my own. Here's a recipe for a vegan pumpkin pie that I made:
16 oz pumpkin
12 oz silken tofu
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp apple pie spice(we didn't have pumpkin lol)
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbs cornstarch
1/3 cup vanilla soy milk
1/3 cup tofutti "cream cheese"
1 pie crust
Just blend it all together, put into the crust and bake. It's pretty tasty, but those cinnamon buns look even better =)
I love my best friend, Angelahhh's, vegan muffins. They are the grandest vegan goodie I've ever eaten. And to drink, chocolate soy milk (that my school started to sell!).
I do like the idea of any vegan treat, though. Eating vegan is saving lives.
Posted by: Christina at November 7, 2007 5:38 PMI love Stonewalls Jerkey. Not the beef ones. They are awesome.
Posted by: ashley at November 7, 2007 6:05 PMI don't usually buy any treats, but I enjoy making them myself. Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World has totally spoiled me. Cupcakes and cookies are probably my favourite to bake, but I also love decorating cakes.
Congratulations on being in Peta, Kimberlie!
Posted by: Ashley at November 7, 2007 6:42 PMheey! I love being Vegan you get to experience so many different types of foods. That saves animals..what i love the most is blueberry muffins. MAke them using all natural olive oils instead of eggs. :) oh and put blueberry's in it :) YUUUUUUUM!

My favorite vegan treat I can not get in the US. It's from a company in Canada called Sweets from the Earth and their pecan caramel bar is amazing!! Purely Decadant is right up there too!
Posted by: Holly at November 7, 2007 7:40 PMOreos. cause they're yummy =]
Posted by: Clare at November 7, 2007 8:42 PMMy favorite vegan food is Veganhoney's Snickerdoodle cookies! They are delicious and I highly recommend them!!
Posted by: Kimiko at November 7, 2007 9:16 PMVegan cheesecake with Oreo crust and raspberry topping is my FAVE food to mke and devour! My birthday is Nov. 30th, actually... maybe the gods will lovingly smile upon me so that I may partake in some VeganHoney chocodiles... mmm... chocolate twinkies...

Posted by: Cheryl Wasielewski at November 8, 2007 10:37 AMBanana ICEY
Im really lazy so i give mad props to people that bake, when i want a sweet treat i just whip this together!
If you love ice cream - this is a healthy vegan alternative. You always use a frozen banana as a base for vegan ice cream, but you can use any frozen fruit that you want - mango, raspberries, strawberries, peaches etc... You could also add dates, orange juice or maple syrup if you want it to be sweeter
1 frozen banana, chopped
1 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup ice (or frozen juice)
sugar is optional i dont use any, natures sweetness is enough
This is as easy as chucking it all in a blender and whizzing it up until it is smooth and creamy.
Gobble it down!
vegan cupcakes!!!!!!!!!!! i loves them =P
Posted by: Amber at November 8, 2007 1:08 PMI LOVE Vegan Honey! I just recieved and devoured a specialized bakery box. Mind numbing good.Is the world ending? nevermind. I am eating a whoopie pie. House burning? oh fooey, I am going to keep eating my twinkies. Car got stolen? its bad for pollution anyways. There's a peanut butter and chocolate smudged on my fingers.
So much for holiday diets.. thanks Vegan Honey!

Posted by: j.me at November 9, 2007 3:04 AMmy all time favorite vegan treat would have to be purely decadent ice cream. i love to mix peanut butter zig zag and chocolate brownie almond together.
Posted by: janet at November 9, 2007 8:44 AMI don't really have much of a sweet tooth, so I usually just eat fruit as a treat. My favorite are guavas. They're so delicious.
Posted by: at November 9, 2007 10:29 AMBy far it's Purely Decadent's Cookie Dough soy ice cream. I've been waiting for this product for YEARS!
But maybe my new favorite will be the vegan Twinkies...I'll just have to win to find out!

Posted by: Bridget W at November 10, 2007 1:37 AMapple pie cookies with caramel sauce!
RECIPIE-
Equipment:
Cookie Sheet
Big Mixing bowl
A fork for mixing.
Ingredients
1 cup flour
2 crushed up Ice cream cones (this makes it crunchy like pie!)
1 Apple Chopped into small pieces
1 tablespoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup soymilk
1/2 cup Earthbalance or whatever soy based margarine you have in the fridge
1/2 cup unrefined sugar
1 dash of salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Melt Margarine, soymilk, and sugar in the Microwave for one minute or in a saucepan until the mix is completely dissolved. Pour in mixing bowl and add apple and Ice cream cones ( you want to add these first so the hot mixture softens up the cone and the apple). Slowly pour in flour as you mix, cloves, cinnamon, baking powder and finnally the dash of salt.
Shape into heaping cookies and bake 10- 15 minutes or until nice and crunchy brown.
Mmmm, apple pie.
Equipment:
Medium-sized saucepan.
Measuring cups/spoons.
VEGAN CARAMEL SAUCE
Ingredients
1/2 c. (1 stick) Earth Balance or other vegan margarine
2 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. soy creamer or soy milk (or other non-dairy milk)
2 T. arrowroot
Directions
Combine 1/4 cup soy creamer with the arrowroot. Set aside.
Melt the Earth Balance in a saucepan. Stir in brown sugar. Add remaining 1/2 cup soy creamer. Bring liquid to a boil and boil for 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
Take the pan off the heat and immediately add arrowroot slurry. The liquid should thicken quickly.
pour over a cookie and enjoy! Or store in fridge for up to one week.
(i would recommend heating a cookie up in the microwave before eating it as they are best warm like apple pie!)

Posted by: mehek at November 11, 2007 11:29 PMAlternative Baking Co.'s Snickerdoodle.
I would have said the White Chocolate Cherry cookie except it was a Cookie of the Season and has sadly gone the way of the dodo. That one was awesome :(

The Fauxstess Twinkies look delish!!! P:
I like the vegan peanut butter cups YUMMY!
Posted by: Brandy at November 12, 2007 7:25 PMBut isn't it fun to see the disgusted look of terror on non-veg's faces when you point out the beef fat in the list of ingredients? Everybody is like, "How did you know there was beef fat in there??" My question is "Why would you not know that you're putting dead animals into your mouth?"
Posted by: Jessy Meyer at November 12, 2007 9:19 PMhmmm, favorite vegan treat? i would have to say any kind of vegan cupcakes. nothing gets my mouth watering more than vegan buttercream frosting!

Posted by: Sharon at November 18, 2007 5:30 PMmy first pregnancy , my mother made sure i had no caffine, so i ate tons of carob
My favorite vegan treat is vegan cupcakes! I very rarely get to have cake unless I bake it myself, so whenever I get the time to bake a batch of cupcakes it's a real treat. I absolutely love frosting and decorating them almost as much as I love eating them! The best cupcakes I've ever made were goth cupcakes: chocolate cupcakes with orange flavored frosting, and homemade dark chocolate tombstones on top. My url is a picture of my creations :)
Posted by: Mary at November 25, 2007 11:57 AMMy favourite vegan treat are these homemade seed cookies from a local veg restaurant ,"The Green Door". I eat 6 at a time.
