Food Allergies and the Halloween Fairy

The Halloween Fairy

This will be our third year doing the Halloween Fairy and my family really enjoys it.  My boys still get dressed up and go door to door, but they know not to eat any of the candy.  When we return to the house, the boys cannot wait to see what the Halloween Fairy has left them.  When they enter the house, they drop their bags and find fun Halloween buckets filled with safe candy and non-food items.  The Fairy only visits homes of food allergic families.  Daddy then takes the other collection of candy and sets it out for his co-workers to enjoy.  My favorite part is putting the buckets together and seeing the smiles on their faces.  My kids could care less about the other candy leaving our house.

This year, the Halloween Fairy will be leaving them Peanut and Nut Free Chocolate from Canada, Dove Chocolate, Dum Dums and some fun toys.

From Dove: We are pleased to announce that we now have a large number of our DOVE® Milk and Dark Chocolate products manufactured in a dedicated manufacturing facility that does not produce any products containing peanuts or treenuts*. http://www.dovechocolate.com/aboutDove/AllergenFreeFacilities
