Gluten-Free Halloween treats are a great way to accommodate children with allergies while still allowing them to enjoy the festivities. Here are some allergy-friendly recipes that are both delicious and safe for trick-or-treaters:

1. Chocolate-Dipped Fruit:

One simple and healthy option is chocolate-dipped fruit. You can use gluten-free chocolate and a variety of fruits like strawberries, bananas, or even apple slices. Melt the chocolate and dip the fruits in it. Let them cool and harden before serving.

2. Pumpkin Spice Energy Balls:

These bite-sized treats are perfect for providing a burst of energy during the Halloween festivities. To make them, combine gluten-free oats, pumpkin puree, almond butter, honey, pumpkin spice, and a pinch of salt. Roll the mixture into small balls and refrigerate until firm.

3. Rice Krispie Treats:

Rice Krispie treats can easily be made gluten-free by using gluten-free rice cereal and ensuring that the marshmallows used are also gluten-free. To make them more festive, add some food coloring and Halloween-themed sprinkles.

4. Mummy Hot Dogs:

For a savory treat, try making mummy hot dogs. Wrap gluten-free hot dogs with strips of gluten-free puff pastry to resemble mummies. Use mustard or ketchup to create eyes and bake until golden brown.

5. Spooky Popcorn:

Popcorn is naturally gluten-free, making it a great option for Halloween. To make it more festive, drizzle melted white chocolate over the popcorn and add Halloween-themed sprinkles or candy corn.

Remember to always check the labels of ingredients to ensure they are gluten-free and suitable for specific allergies. Additionally, consider using separate utensils and equipment to avoid cross-contamination.
