Halloween is a nightmare for those with special dietary needs. 

I dread the holiday every single year because of all the events that include Halloween candy.

Thankfully, I've been able to find fabulous options for those who follow gluten free, dairy free, soy free, corn free, and refined sugar free diets.

All of these recipes are Sunshine tested and approved!

Halloween Candy: Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Corn Free, & Refined Sugar Free

There comes a point when kids are no longer okay with Halloween candy substitutes that look different than their peers. 

They want the real stuff, especially the fun sized chocolate candy bars that never seem to be allergy friendly.

Sunshine is in this stage right now. 

I am so thankful for food bloggers who have tried and tested recipes, so I don't have to. 

These recipes are absolutely delicious and so much fun to prepare for Halloween, whether you:

• Allow your child to go trick or treating and then trade candy out with items that are safe and diet-friendly
• Hand deliver diet-friendly treats ahead of time to neighbors and relatives to give out when you take your child trick-or-treating
• Opt to stay home and throw a party with diet-friendly candy and treats

10 Homemade Halloween Candy Bars: Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Corn Free & Refined Sugar Free

Homemade Twix Bars

Who doesn't love a Twix bar? This is definitely one of my top three favorite chocolate candy bars. I love that Sunshine can enjoy them too.

Pumpkin Peanut Butter Cups

I love the added pumpkin to these peanut butter cups, and they are easy to make without the pumpkin as well. 

If you can't have peanut butter, sun butter or almond butter work as well. 

Mounds Bars and Almond Joys

Almond Joys are some of my favorite chocolate candies. My kids also love anything with coconut. These are sure to be enjoyed by Sunshine and everyone else in the house.

Instead of using sweetened condensed milk, which can include dairy and sugar, try making your own with THIS RECIPE.

Snickers Bars

Snickers bars were a family favorite when I was growing up. Halloween wouldn't be the same without them. I'm so excited to share these with Sunshine!

Chocolate Peanut Clusters

Sunshine really enjoys nuts, especially peanuts and cashews. This recipe will work for both!

Butterfinger Candy Bar

I am personally not a fan of Butterfinger bars but my husband and kids LOVE them. I'm excited to provide everyone with the Butterfinger bar experience.

Kit Kat Bars

Besides Twix and Almond Joys, Kit Kats are my favorite chocolate bars. I'm super excited to bring this sweet experience to Sunshine.

We will be using our favorite graham cracker recipe. 

Rolos

My mother was a huge fan of Rolos. Dinomite also loves caramel. Sunshine really enjoys caramel flavor. These are absolutely delicious and definitely hit the spot.

3 Musketeers Bars

Princess loves 3 Musketeers bars and is so excited to share them with her sister this year. 

Crunch Bars

There's nothing quite as satisfying as a crunch bar when it comes to Halloween candy. Now Sunshine can have them too.

Store Bought Chocolate Candy Bars: Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Corn Free, and Refined Sugar Free

Finding chocolate that Sunshine can eat is always a challenges. These brands have proven to work well for her in the past.

She absolutely loves them.

Hu Chocolate Bars

This chocolate is my favorite when it comes to options for Sunshine and myself. There are so many flavor and options available.

The biggest thing to watch out for is the sugar alternative. 

These bars are made with coconut sugar. 

If you don't do well with coconut sugar for some reason, you want to be really careful with this chocolate.

Lily's Dark Chocolate Bars

We use a lot of Lily's dark chocolate chips in our baking as it's cheaper than Hu chocolate bars and doesn't contain coconut sugar. 

The hardest part about using Lily's chocolate is that every type of chip and bar has different ingredients. Some have dairy. Others have soy. 

You have to be really careful to read labels to ensure what you're getting is in fact diet-friendly.

Luv Chocolate

This little shop on Amazon is amazing! Each holiday season they come out with adorable chocolates in these cute boxes.

I have ordered them for Sunshine at Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter. I can't wait to see what they come out with for Halloween.

Sunshine absolutely loves this chocolate!

Non Chocolate Halloween Candy: Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Corn Free & Refined Sugar Free

As crazy as it may sound, not everyone likes chocolate. Others, like my husband can't eat it. (Chocolate gives him horrible migraines.)

Sugar Free Jelly Belly Candies

You might think that jelly beans are an Easter Candy and not meant for Halloween, but you'd be wrong.

If you're a Harry Potter fan, you'll know that Bertie Botts' Every Flavor Beans are a thing, and absolutely perfect for Halloween. 

These are a great alternative to the fun candy, especially when you add in some of the sour ones. 

Zollipops Clean Teeth Lollipops

For the kid who loves Dum Dums and lollipops, these are the perfect alternative. They taste so good too!

I love that this candy comes in so many different flavors.

Albanese World's Best Sugar Free Gummi Bears

These gummy bears are absolutely delicious and come in so many flavors. 

They may not come in individually wrapped bite size containers, but they can easily be wrapped as such.

Jolly Rancher Sugar Free Hard Candy

For those who love the flavors of Jolly Ranchers, these candies are fabulous. 

They even stick to your teeth, just like the real Jollly Ranchers do. Lol.

Cocomels Coconut Milk Caramels

For those who may not be into fruity flavors, these caramels are fabulous. 

They are so soft and chewy and definitely get stuck in your teeth, just like real caramel.

Max Mallow Marshmallows

These marshmallows are so yummy! Sunshine's favorite flavors are Birthday Funfetti and Mint Chip. She uses the plain ones when she makes s'mores. 

Again, these treats aren't wrapped up individually, but it is possible to do so.

No matter what special dietary needs a child has, there's no reason that she can't enjoy Halloween and all of the candy!

Whether you prefer making everything yourself or just putting an order in to Amazon, you can make Halloween happen!
