10 Nut-Free Snack Ideas Perfect For Halloween
Early in the school year, I volunteered to be a room parent. I wanted to be more involved in my son’s education, so it sounded like a great idea. My first official responsibility is to bring snacks to the Halloween party. It sounded easy until I was told that any snacks we bring need to be nut-free.
My son has no allergies, so figuring out nut free snack options is completely new to me. I laughed imagining my son´s classmates faces if I appeared with a bunch of bananas and nothing else.
I told Jeannette I was lost, and that the kids at school probably expected more than a banana. She told me she had some experience because her children’s schools are nut-free and also request that any snacks be individually packaged. Together we compiled a list to help all the moms who feel a bit lost, like I do.
10 nut-free snack ideas for Halloween
- String cheese or mozzarella sticks
- Potato chips
- Popcorn
- Yogurt
- Apple sauce
- Marshmallows
- Dried fruit strips or fruit roll-ups
- Candy corn, lollipops or other hard candy
- Juice boxes
- Fruit
Please read the labels of anything you buy. Many foods that do not have nuts might be packaged in a facility that processes nuts, something that puts an allergic child at risk.
