For many, Halloween is their favorite holiday of the year. There's SO much to look forward to. The costumes! The spooky decorations! The playful tricks! And maybe most of all...the TREATS!
But when you're a mom to a kiddo with food sensitivities, it can be rather a fraught and overwhelming season, as you try to protect your child's health, while ALSO looking out for their little heart.
It's HARD to be the kid with a "food plan", while all of your friends are joyfully eating themselves sick on candy and cupcakes!
Finding safe alternatives can be even harder when your child's sensitivities include not just dairy and gluten, but soy and corn as well.
Thankfully, there are some wonderful food bloggers out there who KNOW what it's like to live with food allergies. It may take more work than stopping to pick something up at the store, but the look on your little one's face when Mama brings adorable treats to class that EVERYONE can have...that's priceless!
Here, you will find a whole list of healthy homemade creations that are hauntingly cute, but won't leave you 'haunted' with miserable symptoms after eating something your body can't handle.
All of these recipes are at a minimum, both gluten free and dairy free. Many are also vegan, nut free, and egg free.
From classics like pumpkin spice cookies and candied apples, to frighteningly clever monsters, ghosts, spiders, and ghouls, these 16 allergy-friendly recipes help put the fun back in Halloween snacking--for kids and moms alike!
