An estimated 1 in 13 children in the U.S. are living with food allergies, according to Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE). To make the Halloween season more inclusive for all kids, you can bake allergy-friendly treats that are safe and delicious, too. Here are some snacks you can make for the class or at home for your own lil’ monsters. If you want to skip the mess, try an allergy-friendly bakery in your area (or one that ships).
If you would like to find Halloween candy for your kids who have allergies, CVS Pharmacy is now the exclusive retail partner of Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) for their 2022 Teal Pumpkin Project, offering nearly 50 food-allergy safe items across 4,500 CVS store locations and on cvs.com, including 395 locations in New Jersey. Check out our list of sweet treats that you can find in retail stores or online!
