Safety Tips for Halloween Treats

Keeping your little goblins and ghouls safe is the top priority. Here are some simple, fun safety tips to keep in mind so everyone can enjoy the season without any scares.

  • Check Everything: Before anyone dives into their candy haul, make sure an adult checks all the goodies. Only eat Halloween treats from outside the home that are in their original, sealed wrappers. If a candy wrapper looks like it's been opened, torn, or is just a bit suspicious, it's best to toss it out.

  • Allergen Awareness: With so many different kinds of Halloween treats for kids out there, it's important to be mindful of food allergies. If your little one has allergies, have a special Halloween treat stash ready for them at home to swap with their candy. You can also look for houses participating in the Teal Pumpkin Project, which offers non-food Halloween treats like toys or stickers.

  • Homemade Treats from Strangers: While homemade Halloween treat ideas like our delicious recipes are great from trusted sources, it's a good idea to steer clear of homemade goodies from people you don't know. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
