I have a neighbor, who has a kid who is allergic to peanuts. He came over and asked me to make sure “all” of our Halloween candy was peanut free. I had to decline his request, telling him I respected where he was coming from, but I was not completely comfortable with what he was asking of me.
WAIT! Before you all start the “you suck comments” keep reading. I respect his son and the allergy, but I am not going to completely change our Halloween for one kid. We loves our peanut butter cups, that’s not changing. However, what I did tell him, was that I would get his kid a peanut free treat and I would keep it in a special bowl, so it didn’t come in contact with the peanutty stuff.
To be honest a little research shows that there is a lot of crap for kids to enjoy and still be peanut free.
Every kid should have the opportunity to enjoy Halloween, peanuts or not. Below is a gallery of nut free halloween treats that you can serve to your favorite ghouls and goblins this Halloween. Is anyone really still a ghoul? More like Angry Bird and Doc Mc Stufins, but you get the point, you don’t have to make a major sacrifice to have a peanut free, tasty Halloween crap fest.
Enjoy and remember to “Like” the Dad All Day Facebook page, we have been nut free since July 2013!
