Green Halloween : Dairy-free holiday treats
With Halloween fast approaching, parents of children with milk allergies will appreciate what this website has to offer - an alternative to chocolate and candy that kids will enjoy. From the founder of Green Halloweem, Corey Colwell-Lipson:
In 2006, I took my six-year-old princess and two-year-old fairy (I know…) trick-or-treating. While most of the neighborhood handed out the requisite Tootsie Rolls and M ‘n M’s , a few homes placed non-candy treats like bubbles and stickers in my girls’ pumpkins. I was so thrilled that someone thought outside the candy-box, that while shouting, “Thank You!” at the top of my lungs, I made a note to myself to remember to trick-or-treat at these homes the following year. But after winding through several streets in the dark, I had already forgotten which homes were candy-free. I mentioned to a nearby parent, “Wouldn’t it be great if there were a sign you could place on your door or window that notified trick-or-treaters that their upcoming treat would be healthy?” This way, parents could seek out those homes and turn trick-or-treating into a scavenger hunt – a hunt for treasures rather than treats.
