2.7 Allergy Safe Halloween Candy Part 1

Listen and subscribe to The Middle School Mind podcast available on these podcast apps!

On this episode of The Middle School Mind, we review allergy safe Halloween candy that are safe for kids with peanut and tree nut food allergies.

Halloween is a fun time for kids, and since we have family members with severe food allergies, we hand out peanut and tree nut free candies on Halloween.

On this episode, we pull random allergy safe Halloween candy from a hat and we taste test each candy and tell you if we would Keep this candy, Trade this candy or Chuck this candy.

Here are the candies we review on this episode:

Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers Mini

Son thinks Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers all taste the same
Father notes these have a little sugar and look like the letter S with half the crawler one flavor and the other half another flavor
Son would TRADE Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers

Laffy Taffy

Each Laffy Taffy comes with a handful of groan-worthy dad jokes
Son thinks this has a weird texture with smooth and hard spots and didn’t finish his piece
Both Son and Father would CHUCK Laffy Taffy since there’s not a lot of street value to these candies

Jolly Rancher Stix

Son didn’t enjoy his but it wasn’t the worst candy
Father does not like Jolly Rancher since it stuck to his teeth and he can’t immediately chew this Jolly Rancher Stix
Son would TRADE this candy since we think enough people like Jolly Rancher candy

Nerds

Nerds are a classic candy!
Nerds check all the boxes with great taste, easy to crunch and Nerds are allergy safe Halloween candy
We both agree that Nerds are a KEEPER.

Milk Duds

Son tries Milk Duds for the first time
Father thinks Milk Duds are duds
The caramel is chewy and the chocolate is meh
We agree that Milk Duds are a TRADE if you can find a willing partner (sucker)

Rolo

Son talks about his memories of Rolos that he finds in his stockings every Christmas at his grandparents house

Father thinks Rolos are what the Milk Duds creators wanted Milk Duds to turn into
We both agree that Rolos are a KEEP in every Halloween bag

We have a lot more allergy safe Halloween candy to go and we don’t want to ruin our dinner. So we need to break this up into a follow up episode! Like, follow and subscribe to our podcast to find out when Part 2 airs!
