Since Bryan is only 3 years old, we haven't had any discussions yet about why we don't go trick-or-treating. My plan is to tell him that it just isn't safe because so many people give out candy with milk or eggs or peanuts in it. For now, he gets to dress up and give away (Bryan-safe) candy at the door, and when he gets older, we will probably throw Halloween parties for him and his friends. Am I being naive to think that will work? Probably- but he has surprised me so far with how mature he is about his allergies. So here's hoping...
In the meantime, here is a list of milk-, egg-, and peanut-free treats. As always, please check the label before you eat anything- fun-size products sometimes have different ingredients from regular-size. Hope you have a fun, safe, and allergic-reaction-free Halloween!

- Skittles
- Starburst (except fruit-and-creme variety)
- Sour Patch Kids (just the regular ones)
- Divvies Caramel Popcorn or Caramel-Chocolate Popcorn (available at http://www.divvies.com/; they also have Bryan-safe chocolate!)
- Raisins (which the neighborhood kids will LOVE...)
