Halloween is right around the corner and in today’s post I want to talk about food allergies and better yet, allergy friendly CANDY & SWEETS.

I have been gluten and dairy intolerant for 5 years now and I know the struggle of navigating seasonal foods! Baking and preparing desserts at home to accommodate my allergies has been fairly easy however I’ve been on the hunt for dairy and gluten free chocolate and candy for such a long time. I’m so excited to share some amazing allergy friendly Halloween candy!! These are all of course kid-friendly, and also grown up “work break snack” approved!!

Right, let’s get into the candy!!!

 
 

YumEarth Organic Candy Corn

Growing up, candy corn was a Halloween STAPLE in my house. As I’ve become more conscious and aware of what ingredients are actually in the foods we eat, I realized I should probably never buy candy corn again. But lucky enough YumEarth makes an Organic, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Dairy Free and Nut Free Candy Corn! Yes, it’s possible and it tastes exactly like candy corn too! Best of all is that there is no high fructose corn syrup or artificial food dyes. I also love the little packages!

Goodie Girl Pumpkin Pie Cookies

I’ve been a fan of Goodie Girl’s gluten free cookies for awhile but sadly had to eliminate them due to most of their products containing dairy. However, they recently released these Pumpkin Pie cookies that are incredible and happen to be both vegan and dairy free! These pumpkin cookies are super popular! I finally found them at Whole Foods but linked the ones on Amazon above.

Annie’s Bunnies & Bats Fruit Snacks

What’s not to love about bunnies & bats?! These fruit snacks are so adorable and have no High Fructose Corn Syrup, Artificial Flavors or Colors! They are gluten free, dairy free, and vegan. The packages are the perfect size for making snack time a little extra spooky!

OCHO Coconut Chocolate

Calling all lovers of coconut and dark chocolate! These bite-sized chocolates are so rich and addictive! They are vegan, dairy free, and gluten free. While these aren’t specifically halloween themed, {they do have a halloween variety pack in stores} they are great for adding to your treat bucket!

Junior Mints Halloween

Annndd this is where I fell off the healthy band-wagon and indulged in one of my favorite candies, Junior Mints. How can you resist the halloween edition! I was so excited to find out these are both gluten and dairy free. The centers of these are orange and black and they are so good!!

Hope you all LOVE these guilt free treats as much as I do!! Let me know if you try any of these in the comments below! What’s YOUR favorite allergy friendly treats?!

 

Happy Halloween!

Autumn Morning at the Pumpkin Patch | Celebration, FL

 
 
 

Happy autumn from warm weathered Florida!

It’s currently 95 degrees outside but we are channeling ALL the autumnal vibes here! It seems like one minute I was celebrating New Years and then I blinked and it’s already October! While this year has been filled with endless trials and hardships, one good thing about this whole mess of a year is that my time in quarantine as allowed me to slow down and look closer at the sweeter things in life.

My British twin, Alexandra and I visited our local pumpkin patch this week which brought some much needed autumn spirit to our day! While we may not have crisp air or changing leaves, Florida always finds a way to make it feel a little like our northern homes we miss dearly!
