This Halloween we decided to by-pass purchasing candy and create our own gluten-free/allergy-free treats to hand out to neighborhood children.  Since friends stop in, we also prepared some goodies for the Trick-or-Treater’s parents.

Allergy-free Ghost Sugar Cookies

Allergy-free Ghost Sugar Cookies

Supplies needed:

1 package organic gluten-free Sugar Cookie Mix from The Pure Pantry

1 7.3 oz container White Sparkling Sugar from India Tree

1 package dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free chocolate chips from Enjoy Life for the eyes

Spray bottle of water for misting cookies

Plastic goodie bags and plastic Halloween rings

Prepare sugar cookies according to package directions.  Roll out and cut out with ghost cookie cutter.  Place cut out ghosts on greased cookie sheet.  Lightly mist cookies with water.  Sprinkle Sparkling Sugar all over cut outs.  The water helps make the sugar stick.   Place two chocolate chip cookies for eyes.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.

Let cookies cool completely.  Place one cookie in plastic bag and use Halloween theme rings to seal the bag.

Halloween Pumpkin Maple Glazed Donuts

For Halloween Parties, you can purchase these darling cupcake toppers and write “gluten-free” or “nut-free” or anything-free and place on top ofthe treat so that parents and children know that they are safe.  They are available at Williams Sonoma and come with Halloween cupcake papers.

You can also make your donuts festive with decorative sprinkles.

Another festive treat for a Halloween Party is Pumpkin Swirl Brownies, an amazing combination of chocolate, pumpkin and hazelnuts.  This recipe is a favorite around here.  It can be made with or without nuts and is also dairy free.
