10 Best Gluten-Free Halloween Treats

Friday, October 28th, 2011

by Corey

According to the Center for Disease Control, 1 in 13 children now suffer from food allergies. Gluten is one of the most common allergens and even those not “allergic” to it are often “gluten intolerant” so more and more families (like mine) have gone gluten-free.

So what treats to choose to ensure a safe and fun Halloween that keeps all the YUM?

Yo’ Drops from Revolution Foods

 

Stretch Island Fruit Co. strips

Larabar (minis)

 

Honest Kids organic drink pouches

 

Nature’s Path organic crispy rice treats



Endangered Species Bug Bites

 


Surf Sweets organic candy

 


“Angell Crisp” by Angell Bar

 


Eli’s Earth Bars organic candy bars

 


Glee Gum (minis)

Of course, giving non-food “treasures” is another way to make Halloween gluten-free. Just choose items that are made from safe, natural materials and look for treasures that will last long past Halloween, such as polished rocks, recycled mood pencils, and mini decks of cards or games.
