Popular Allergen Free Candy for Halloween | Covenant Allergy

Can you believe it? Halloween is just around the corner! In addition to getting those costumes ready, it’s also time to think about the treats you’ll hand out to trick-or-treaters, party guests, or your children’s classmates. Covenant Allergy and Asthma wants to help you navigate the increasingly common issue of food allergies. Because we don’t want any kids to be left out of the festivities, we’ve rounded up a list of candies that are free of the top eight food allergens.

These tasty treats are all gluten free and peanut free–and they are also free of tree nuts, eggs, milk, soy, shellfish or fish. As always, be sure to read the ingredient labels on any candy you buy as manufacturers do occasionally change formulations and equipment, so the allergy status of products are subject to change. Do you prefer to send kids home with a non food treat? Try this list.

Mike and Ike
This fruity and chewy choice is popular for Halloween as they typically come out with one or two seasonal mixes just for Halloween.

Peeps
These marshmallow treats were once relegated to Easter baskets, but for the past several years, the company makes specialty versions for Halloween as well. Just be sure to stay away from the fancier, chocolate dipped varieties.

Skittles
Yes, even kids with food allergies can taste the rainbow! Skittles are a common favorite to hand out to your little neighborhood ghouls.

DOTS
While DOTS classic gum drops may not be a favorite among all dentists or parents, sure enough, these are another allergen free sugary treat most kids are sure to enjoy.

Hot Tamales
Fun fact: Hot Tamales are actually made from the rejected and misshapen Mike and Ike candies! And extra dose of spicy cinnamon flavor makes these a fun Halloween pick.
