I wrote about this on my blog this week as well. As the mom of a child with a peanut/tree nut allergy, I really appreciate any and all efforts to bring awareness. If you're looking for ideas for allergy friendly treats, I have a list over on my post.

I don't think this is meant as a substitute for candy (that was just a personal choice on my part because of my son's friend). I mean, Halloween is all about the candy :)! The teal pumpkin idea is just in addition to candy, so kids with allergies can still trick or treat. Keep giving out the big bars - I know my kids loved them!My New Happyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912544717011410371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476608325432503181.post-39592183451339299352014-10-14T22:55:09.806-07:002014-10-14T22:55:09.806-07:00Thanks Susan!

We moved from the country and I mean 17 miles to the nearest store to get milk kind of country so when we moved to this house last October I went all out. I couldn't wait to get trick or treaters. Not one, none, nada we ate it ALL. There are only a few houses on our road with only one child and he said he's to old for that...he's all of 12!Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12296781992150172086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476608325432503181.post-67222939558388797992014-10-14T18:01:50.483-07:002014-10-14T18:01:50.483-07:00This is very cool!

T...I'm sharing this every way I know how today! Thanks for bringing awareness of a helpful tip to this widespread concern! I had never heard of the Teal Pumpkin project - but what a great idea. <br />Sadly, we rarely get any trick-or-treaters because the houses are so spread out where we live. One year 2 carfuls came with about a dozen kids - and that was probably the most we have ever had. I usually have one bag of candy on hand, just-in-case... and it is always best for me if it is not miniature Hershey bars or PB cups as they are my favorite as well!
