Spooky season is coming! Finding Halloween treats for kids with allergies can be tricky.
My youngest son, Anthony, is allergic to dairy and cinnamon.
Many popular options for dairy-free candy are naturally free of milk ingredients.
Popular candies like Blow Pops, Jolly Ranchers, and Skittles are dairy-free.
Also, Fun Dip has always been a classic candy!
I believe this is where the idea for Baby Bottle Bop originated.
There are also healthier sugars out there like Welch’s Snacks.
Be sure to always check the most current labels on any product, as ingredients can change.
Why are Halloween Treats Passed out?
Passing out candy on Halloween is a fun tradition that evolved from ancient customs.
Originally, people would leave out food and drinks to appease spirits believed to be wandering the earth.
In Mexico, the Day of the Dead celebration also give out food and offerings to family members long gone.
Later, during medieval times, poor people, often called “soulers,” would go from door to door offering prayers for the dead in exchange for small cakes or treats.
This practice of “souling” eventually transformed into “trick-or-treating” as we know it today.
In the early 20th century, communities started to embrace the practice of giving out candy.
This was used as a way to manage mischievous pranks and make the holiday a more organized, child-friendly event.
Thus Halloween is a fun time to dress up however you want and get free candy!
