Hello Mammas,
Can you share some recipes with me for HALLOWEEN party snacks but for kids with allergies to nuts, egg and dairy? WE have a few kids coming to our party that cannot eat normal snacks like chex mix, and even dip for veggies. I am making cupcakes taht have no egg, or dairy, but after taht I am at a loss. Please help!
Thanks!
Thanks y'all. I think I will stick with hummas, fruit and veggies, chips and salsa plus my cupcake recipe.
Unfortunatlly, Pretzels, and candy corn an a few other suggestions have dairy in them. thanks anyway though.
I'd ask their parents for ideas - they are used to dealing with it and will probably appreciate the fact that you are thinking about it and taking it seriously.
Chips and salsa. Fruit and veggies and hummus.
How about hummus with veggies? Plain ole' fruit salad is always a crowd pleaser.
Also, Central Market has a isle dedicated to gluten-free bread products and such.

Fresh cut fruit and vegetables. Most kids view that stuff as a treat because they can get chips and other junk any day of the week at home. And Jello? I bought little molds tonight to make halloween shapes for our party.
I agree that asking the parents for recommendations can be helpful since they'll know what things their LOs can and can't have and it'll be a reassurance to them that you're checking with them first.
Other ideas could be - applesauce cups or fruit cups? popcorn?
2 of my grandkids have food allergies and I know my daughter always appreciates it when the parents call ahead of time to ask about food to serve. If the parent seems at ends about the food allergies my daughter wll pack food for my grandkids to take along. Other times she'll give ideas of 1 or 2 things that are ok.
Don't get over stressed. Just ask the parents because they deal with this all day ever day and can rattle off a list of safe stuff.
my kids like the "finger" sandwich idea. This can be made with anything and it is just a sandwich with crusts removed and cut into long strips. Decorate the ends with something made to look like finger nails. Could be a bit of veggie or raisin or anything.
rice krispie treats are my go to with these allergies =) How about pretzels and chips?
Fruit and Veggies!
Baba ganouj (delicious eggpllant dip! http://bit.ly/bC3Y8w) ~ serve with veggies or pita wedges (I like mine toasted!)
Ants on a log (using soy butter or sun butter)
Candy corn
Popcorn balls (+ activity: let kids shape them once cooled! http://bit.ly/dwbgTr)
Pretzels
Granola (nut free recipes: http://bit.ly/9Ol7wh sub olive oil for butter)
Just in reply to your update - Snyder's brand pretzels are free of dairy, eggs and nuts. So are the Honey Wheat pretzels (and some other kinds) at Trader Joe's (not sure if you have that store near you). My son has all the allergies you mentioned above and he can eat those pretzels with no problem.
Everything else you mentioned sounds great and are definitely things he eats. : )
