Halloween is just around the corner! If you or someone you know has food allergies, this holiday may come with stress and anxiety. Go ahead and breathe a sigh of relief because I'm sharing my favorite allergy-friendly Halloween candies!
This Halloween is the first year my husband and I will be giving out candy to trick-or-treaters. To say I'm excited would be an understatement!
Of course, I'm excited to meet our neighbors and see the cute costumes but I'm most excited to make the families with food allergies feel welcome and excited.
I'm planning on putting out a teal pumpkin, marking our home on Nextdoor as an allergy-friendly house, and maybe even putting out teal colored lights. I really want parents to know that I understand how serious food allergies are, and I want the kids to have a fun-filled night of trick-or-treating.
In addition to going house to house on Halloween evening, there are often parties, school functions, and more that come along with this season.
These sweets are perfect for those occasions as well. Consider giving out or stocking up on these worry-free treats!

This research was on my to-do list, so I can have appropriate treats for our homeschool co-op. Thank you so much for doing it all for me, and for the links! I'm so grateful that kids with food-allergies are being catered to!

The Enjoy Life soft baked cookies are my WEAKNESS right now. I can't stop eating them!
This was an awesome list! I love your blog! ♥

Oooh yes! I love all their snacks and treats haha. Thank you SO much!!!
Kate
Thank you so much for sharing this! As someone with food sensitivities, I always struggle around candy holidays (Valentine's Day, Halloween, etc.). And I love Enjoy Life!
Jenna | The Urben Life
You're so welcome 🙂 Ahh yes, candy holidays – I need to remember that haha clever!

This is such a valuable post! Back when I was Trick or Treating no one ever gave allergies a second thought. So glad times have changed.
Jenna | The Urben Life
Right, so thankful!

I'm so happy you shared this that I could cry! It hasn't been but a few months that we realized what was causing all the health problems... wheat, milk, soy, (we knew about peanut butter and seafood), and more. Thank you so much for introducing these new brands to me. We couldn't "live" without Enjoy Life. We are so thankful for them! 😉
Jenna | The Urben Life
Your comment makes me so happy! YOU are the reason why I have this blog <3 I'm so glad you have new brands to try! I've learned to always check labels and give everything a chance 🙂
Megan
This post is so great. I had no idea that these brands existed for allergy friendly items! This was so helpful to me, thank you!
Jenna | The Urben Life
Thanks so much, Megan! Have a Happy Halloween 🙂

It's amazing that you go out of your way to think about the children with allergies when buying candy for the trick-or-treaters. I'm spoiled with a perfectly healthy family with no allergies and would never have given this a thought if it wasn't for your post. Thank you for sharing!
Jenna | The Urben Life
Aww thanks, I just want everybody to feel included 🙂
Cassie
I'd love to get some of these for our family-friends! It's got to be so hard as a kid having allergies and seeing everyone else with all the fun candy!!
Jenna | The Urben Life
I know! I'm so glad that companies are catering more towards those with food allergies and intolerances.
Sara Ross
These are great suggestions. I remember trying to find candy geared to allergies and it was not easy to do in our area without ordering it all online.
Jenna | The Urben Life
Yep, I completely relate! Thank goodness for Amazon haha 🙂
Melanie Lorick
This is a great post - thank you for sharing. We have some neighbors on our street who avoid chocolate and have certain allergies that make traditional goodies difficult. Last year, we handed out bags of chips and popcorn instead, but may give these a try this year!
Jenna | The Urben Life
You're very welcome, thanks so much for your thoughtful comment! I'm sure your neighbors will be thrilled with any treats or toys you hand out 🙂
Jennifer
I love the Enjoy Life Chocolate chips and use them all the time. I didn't realize they had other products available. Most of these products I have never heard of. I will have to check them out to bless the members of our family that suffer from food related allergies.
Jenna | The Urben Life
For sure, Enjoy Life has a ton of different products now!
Samantha
There are a lot of allergy friendly candies out there! I am conscious about getting nut-free candy each year, but it seems as though every year there are more kids with allergies. Thanks for sharing!
Jenna | The Urben Life
That's so great of you!
Jessica
I remember how excited I was when my husband and I bought our first house and Halloween came around! I have to be honest, fast forward 19 years and three kids later, Halloween is my least favorite holiday. I think because of all the candy! However it is fun to see all of the kids dressed up. You will love it! How thoughtful of you to think of those kiddos with allergies! I have used the Enjoy Life brand chocolate chips, but will have to look at your other suggestions. Thanks!
Jenna | The Urben Life
Awww, thanks!! I can't wait 🙂
Ann F. Snook-Moreau
This is an awesome resource! It is so sad when kiddos can't participate in the fun just because they have an allergy, so these sound like some yummy alternatives for the classroom or trick or treating.
Jenna | The Urben Life
Thanks so much, Ann! I really appreciate your comment 🙂 I completely agree
