It is everyone’s favorite fun fall holiday, but for those that can’t eat gluten, Halloween treats can be downright scary. Food intolerances can wreak havoc on sensitive tummies and it’s a huge downer to have to say no to every tempting treat.
Fortunately, you can save the day by bringing gluten-free foods everyone will love to the Halloween party, school bake sale, or other Halloween event. Here are some easy and tasty gluten-free treats that won’t play any tricks on you!
1. Biting Apples
For a sweet alternative to sugary candy apples, even those who are not gluten-free can get behind these. You cut apples in half vertically and carve out a cavity in them for a mouth. Then, add a nut butter of your choosing followed by sunflower seeds to serve as teeth. A slice of strawberry completes the spooky mouth as a tongue. Full recipe
