Halloween is finally here! Well, OK, there are a couple more days to wait, but it's so close we can almost taste it—literally. When you're not carving pumpkins, whip up a batch of this awesome brittle from VN columnist Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. Easy, delicious, and way more fun to give out to your neighbors than boring ol' candy, this brittle is the best!

Serves 10
What You Need:
1/2 cup non-hydrogenated margarine, room temperature
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 ounces vegan graham crackers (about 6 rectangles)
1-1/4 cups almonds, toasted and chopped

What You Do:
1. Lightly grease a 9-inch square or round cake pan. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the margarine and chocolate. Meanwhile, break up the graham crackers into small pieces (but not crumbs).
2. Once the margarine and chocolate are melted, remove from heat and stir in the
graham crackers and chopped nuts.
3. Spread mixture into prepared baking pan. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or until set. Store in an airtight container.
