Try These Allergen-Free Halloween Treats

Gluten free, peanut free or dairy free, we've found a few treats for those goblins with special dietary needs.

Class parties are fun, but for a child with food allergies it also can be a nightmare.

If your school allows parties in the classroom, there are some things to consider before sending a Halloween treat.

Food allergies come in many shapes and forms from gluten-free to dairy-free snacks and from peanuts to eggs, and then there are also certain fruits and chocolates to consider. It's best to ask your child's teacher what allergies may exist in the classroom in order to prepare something that everyone can eat.
