Where Gluten-Free & Allergy-Friendly Food Is Healthy & Delicious

Allergy Safe Halloween Candy & Treats For All

by 73 Comments

It doesn’t matter what anyone says now in the decades of scrutinizing food, parenting, and lifestyle. Halloween is a tradition where sweet treats are involved and nothing should change that. Not even food allergies. If you want some candy, something sweet, you should be able to enjoy that tradition and choice. I learned about my food allergies and Celiac Disease at a later age so my trick-or-treating days were almost over anyway. But if I had them when I was in the height of my dressing up, going door-to-door, and filling my huge pillowcase with candy days, I would have felt extremely left out and angry.

    I found your page via Google, searching for allergy free candy. I just found out a little neighbor has peanut and egg allergies, so I want to be able to find some candy that will be enjoyed without having to worry (much, hopefully). Thank you for list, it has helped me so much!

    Thank you so much for sharing this awesome list. Sometimes is the spirit of celebrating a Holiday or special occasion the consideration of children (or adults) with allergies are often lost. This is such a great list!

    Thanks for this list. My daughter has an allergy to Red dye 40 where she breaks out in hives, so Halloween treats are always a time for her to sigh and accept that she can’t enjoy over 50% of what’s in her bag. We’re doing the Teal Pumpkin Project this year and handing out little toys instead of food. I know a few places in our neighborhood do this already, and I have friends whose kids have kids with peanut allergies, and my brother in law has tree nut allergies, so this post is a big positive for us. I can’t wait to share it with others!

    HI Rebecca,
    I truly appreciate you giving such a great list of alternative treats for Halloween because there sure are a lot of children out there that have so many food allergies. Besides the treats you buy in most stores are filled toxic chemicals.

    Thank you for posting this list! With so many allergies out there it can be hard sometimes to come up with treats that all kids can have. I’m in charge of the Halloween Party for Aurora’s class this year so this will come in handy as I know this year there are children with both dairy allergies as well as gluten free, but will be checking to see if there are others.

    In your excitement about all the options you forgot to let us know what we should tell you ;). But I’ll just go ahead and say that I went trick-or-treating less times than I can count on one hand in my childhood. Halloween’s not popular over here but we did particpate in ‘Laternelaufen’/lantern parades. And the candy was obviously the best part. What’s not to like about getting oodles more of candy than your parents would ever allow you?! (:

    This is a great idea for a post. No child should miss out on yummy treats on Halloween – or, even more important, *feel* like they are missing out!

    This is a great list! It drives me nuts when all the peanut and peanut butter candy is marketed hard around Halloween. Half the people can’t even eat that stuff anymore.

    I think a pillowcase full of these treats would be far more tasty then a pillowcase full of the usual stuff! Actually I’ll just take an entire pillowcase full of the Bare Fruit cinnamon apple chips, those are my jam I could eat them all night 🙂

      I’m more of a chocolate candy kinda person 😉 Maybe I should give out bags of chia seeds to the kiddos 😉 Although….I might get arrested!

    Wow, this is such an amazing list Rebecca! What a great idea to share too – this will help so many people! I love the sound of all of these treats, I can see myself being very busing making candy for Halloween this year!
