My husband found this list of allergen free Halloween candy, and I thought it was so helpful, I had to share: http://surefoodsliving.com/2011/10/halloween-candy-list-gluten-free-allergen-free-2011/ . It's written by a mom who's child has Celiac's (gluten allergy), I believe, but she includes six of the top eight allergens (including wheat and milk) and lists dozens of different candies and what is and isn't in them. She updates this list every Halloween too! This would be very helpful to us if all candy didn't have dyes in it and we weren't avoiding dyes! ;)
What are we doing for Halloween? Candy buy-back! The kids are getting money in exchange for their Halloween candy. We did buy a few gluten free, dye free candies at the store, but for the most part they are doing buy back. They seem to be alright with that.

Great idea! What we did was go trick-or-treating early, then take out all the gluten/casein/soy candies and give them to the trick-or-treaters who came to our door. I replaced their losses with some candy I had bought from the Natural Candy Store. Worked out great!
