Halloween is just around the corner, and for many of us, that means both giving and eating lots of Halloween candy. While we love the classics like Snickers, Twix, and M&Ms, food allergies are on the rise among children in many parts of the world, and one of the most common culprits to be aware of is dairy.
Candies like these are made with milk chocolate, meaning that many of the potential trick-or-treaters you may receive will be unable to enjoy what you have to offer. Fortunately, there are some popular candies available that are coincidentally free of common allergens as well as products specifically made for those with dietary restrictions.
Skittles
Luckily, one of the most popular candies on the market just so happens to be free of the top 8 most common allergens. The company that manufactures Skittles also takes great care to make sure no cross-contamination occurs during production, so these are a pretty safe option.
Enjoy Life Halloween Chocolate Minis
Enjoy Life makes some of our favorite allergy-friendly and vegan baking chocolates, so we were psyched when we discovered that they’d entered the Halloween Candy market. They offer packages of individually-wrapped chocolates in 3 flavors that are perfect for giving any trick-or-treaters with food allergies.
Sour Patch Kids
Another old favorite, Sour Patch Kids are a fun and tasty option that also happens to be free of the top 8 most common food allergens as well as sesame. For even more fun, try adding packets of Sour Patch Watermelons to your candy bowl so that trick-or-treaters can choose their favorite.
