Have a Happy, Safe & Dairy Free Halloween!

Dairy Free Halloween Time!

We love Halloween. We love dressing up, getting together with friends and we LOVE the candy.

We plan Halloween for weeks – the costumes, the friends we will have over, and which houses to go visit for trick or treating…

Emma can eat all types of candy and chocolate - but with Alexa it gets more tricky.

We thought this blog post could help other families with children with MILK allergies – because every kid should have fun trick or treating and get lots of candy!

Here is a blast from the past: A Photo of Alexa and Emma (the princess years) as kids (wait! - we are still kids!) on Halloween!

Enjoy!

Emma & Alexa

The Dairy Free Girls

No Candy

Chocolate – it is safer to not trick or treat for chocolate candy. Some chocolate is possible for Alexa – but the majority of “Halloween” chocolate handed out it MILK chocolate.

Tootsie Rolls – are a no go

Lollipops – Check ingredients! Not all lollipops are OK – we buy DUM DUM Lollipops

Yes Candy

These are our favorites for a Dairy Free Halloween:

 Skittles!

Starbursts!

 Dum Dum Lollipops!

 Gummy Anything! These are worms! Yucky and Yummy!

 Traditional Gummy Bears!

Candy Corn!

 Jelly Beans!

Smarties & Candy Necklaces!

Non candy items are always great: Stickers, rings, tattoos, etc…

Resource: Our Mom buys special things for Alexa at www.veganstore.com on holidays. She likes to keep a stash and pull the pieces out to help add to her trick or treat bag…

If you have additional ideas and resources to help other families – please share and leave us a comment!

Don't forget -  buy non-chocolate/dairy & peanut candy to hand out too in case kids with allergies come by!

Have a Happy Halloween!
