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!

2.12 The Goodbye Episode – The Middle School Mind

As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. After months of deliberation and soul-searching Father and Son publish their last and final episode of The Middle School Mind podcast. After nearly 18 months and over 35+ episodes, on this episode: We say goodbye to our listeners We talk about what's next for Son We hear from some of our past guests Of course we get a little silly And we play one last game So sit back, relax, grab the Kleenex and stick around for our very special goodbye episode. We think kid's voices are under represented in the podcast space. Even though we are leaving, we encourage you to visit Kids Listen. This organization is a grassroots organization of advocates for high-quality audio content for children. The Middle School Mind is a proud member of Kids Listen and, with our show ending, we encourage kids and families to find other interesting and engaging podcasts for kids. Through this adventure, we connected with the creator of Sound Carrot. This website was founded by a father/daughter team with the goal to help younger listeners find amazing children's podcasts. We hope this resource helps parents and kids find other kid's voices that you want to listen to and hear more from. We also believe that kids can create their own podcasts! Last summer we launched a three-part series encouraging kids to make their own kids' podcasts. You can find the episodes here: 1.20 Make Your Own Kid Podcast 1 1.21 Make Your Own Kid Podcast 2 1.22 Make Your Own Kid Podcast 3 Thank you to The Middle School Mind listeners and even our future listeners. We enjoyed making these episodes together and sharing them with you. This time was special for us and we will look back at this show as an amazing point in time where we talked about what was on Son's mind or relevant pop culture during this time. If you loved listening to the show and want to connect with us, e-mail us at: middleschoolmind.podcast@gmail.com. We are happy to connect if you want to talk about creating your own podcast for your child or, potentially, if you are interested in having your middle schooler take over The Middle School Mind, let's chat. We always knew that The Middle School Mind was going to last at most, 3 years, with Son and I. But amazing shows like Star Trek had Star Trek: The Next Generation and Saved By The Bell had Saved By The Bell: The New Class introduced a new cast of characters while providing new stories and fresh perspectives. It would be amazing to have a Mother/Daughter voice leading the show or a parent/child from a different part of the country or even a completely different country! It's the unique perspectives that help us all learn and appreciate each other. Enjoy The Goodbye Episode and thank you for being part of our show.
