5 Nut-Free Halloween Treats Your Kids Will Love

Food allergies can be tough to manage in the best of times, and holidays like Halloween prove especially challenging. It’s not always easy to know what’s lurking behind each and every candy wrapper. Does it contain nuts? Is it safe?

Don’t let diet restrictions take the fun out of Halloween. Instead, make a worry-free snack or dessert for you and your kids to look forward to after trick-or-treating. Here are five of our favorite nut-free Halloween sweets — all way better than candy bars.

This Halloween, stay safe and keep the festive spirit going by putting your focus on a special post-trick-or-treating treat! Get creative beforehand with make-ahead snacks, like chocolate-covered pear ghosts, marshmallow spiders or a ghoulish-looking pudding. Or, come home and dive into milkshake-making fun.

These spiders are far more cute than they are creepy. We love using Nerd candies to coat these creepy crawlers, but you can use your favorite kind of candy.
