Dairy Free Candy for Halloween

Take a look at our Guide to Dairy Free Candy for Halloween and get all your answers to what you can and can’t have once you have all your Halloween loot! 

Halloween is quickly approaching and with that will come a boat load (or two) of delicious treats for you (I mean your children) to consume. One thing that may be lingering in the back of your mind though is what out of that bucket is dairy free candy?

Unless you’ve been dairy free your entire life or for a long part of it, you are likely here wondering if you can still have your favorite Halloween candy. Now, I won’t sugarcoat anything. There are going to be many traditional Halloween candies that are not allergen-friendly. However, the good news is there are actually dozens of dairy free candy options for Halloween. 

How to easily spot an allergen-friendly house when trick-or-treating?

Over the last few years, the teal pumpkin project has really been gaining traction.  Essentially, it’s a way for parents with children that have food allergies to know that they can go to this house and find safe options for their children.  Did you know that 1 in 13 children have a food allergy?  That’s roughly two kids in every classroom.  Luckily, families have it even easier this year as many big-box stores are making it even easier to find teal pumpkins with their store bought reusable options.
