Common allergens in Halloween treats

For many families with children, Halloween is all about the sweet treats, chocolate or candy. Many recipes for home-baked Halloween treats use milk and eggs, as well as wheat (gluten). Recipes or treats decorated with chocolate can be a hard one to manage with dairy and nut allergies. And soy seems to be in everything store bought.

Inclusive allergy friendly Halloween treats

With a little thought, it’s really not hard to create allergy friendly Halloween treat options. Many recipes can be altered to use safe substitute ingredients like plant based milk or vegan and allergy-friendly chocolate.

This collection of fun allergy friendly Halloween recipe ideas includes recipes that are free from top allergens. And being free from milk and egg, many are vegan too, making them inclusive for people with other dietary requirements.
