If you need to hold up your food “treat” end of the deal, but want some better options than candy, you’ve come to the right place! We’ve uncovered several great non-candy Halloween treats that go far beyond raisins. They include dairy-free sweets, savories, and even some downright nutritious options that all the little ghosts and goblins in your neighborhood will enjoy.
Dairy-Free Non-Candy Halloween Treats that Kids Love
Allergen Notes: All items listed below are dairy-free by ingredients. We’ve also noted any top allergens and which products are labelled as gluten free. But ingredients are subject to change at any time, and all products are at some degree of risk for allergen cross contamination, whether they have a “may contain” statement or not. Always read the label before consuming any food, and make sure you are familiar with this may contain information. Only you can decide what is safe for your needs.
Vegan Note: All of the following are also vegan-friendly unless otherwise noted.
