Halloween should be all about fun — not fear of what’s hiding in your treats.
At Eat G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R, we think everyone deserves to join the sugar-spiced festivities, whether you’re avoiding gluten, dairy, eggs, or more.

This year, we’re taking the “trick” out of treats with three wickedly delicious, allergy-friendly ideas that’ll make your haunted kitchen the happiest (and safest) place on the block.

So grab your apron and your favorite mix — let’s make some magic. ✨

👻 Mini Chocolate Cupcakes with “Ghost” Coconut-Cream Frosting

Imagine this: a batch of rich, fudgy cupcakes rising in your oven, the scent of cocoa filling your kitchen. Now picture topping each one with a little swirl of ghostly coconut-cream frosting — friendly faces that are more “boo!” than “boo-hoo, I can’t eat that.”

Made with our Dark Choconot™ Fudge Cake & Muffin Mix, these cupcakes are grain-free, dairy-free, and frightfully good. The trick? Chill a can of coconut cream overnight, whip it with a little maple syrup and vanilla, then pipe into soft peaks. Add two mini chocolate chips for eyes, and you’ve got the cutest (and safest) ghosts around.

Serve them on a black platter, scatter some edible glitter, and watch them disappear faster than a vampire at sunrise. 🦇

🦇 Pumpkin Spice Cookies Shaped Like Bats

No Halloween spread is complete without a little pumpkin spice. These cookies bring all the cozy fall flavors — cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of ginger — with a spooky edge.

Start with our Cut-Out Sugar Cookie Mix and stir in a few spoonfuls of pumpkin purée. Roll the dough between parchment (because sticky fingers are for kids, not bakers), then grab your bat-shaped cutters and get creative.

Once baked, drizzle with melted dairy-free chocolate or dust with safe edible glitter for a little shimmer. They’re crisp at the edges, soft in the center, and taste like fall flew straight into your kitchen.

🍬 The DIY “Safe Candy Swap”

We love Halloween candy — but not the mystery ingredients that sneak inside those shiny wrappers. Enter the Safe Candy Swap: a simple way to make sure every little ghoul and goblin gets something they can enjoy.

Here’s how it works:

• Kids bring their trick-or-treat haul to a “swap station” at home or school.

• Parents or teachers provide a stash of allergy-friendly treats — things like YumEarth lollipops, Enjoy Life mini cookies, or homemade goodies made from Eat G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R mixes.

• Kids trade unsafe treats for safe ones (or even non-food goodies like stickers, glow sticks, or spooky slime).

It’s an inclusive twist that takes the stress out of Halloween night — and keeps the fun where it belongs.
If you haven’t yet, check out the Teal Pumpkin Project — a national movement helping families offer non-food treats so every child can celebrate safely.

🕸️ One Last Bite

Halloween doesn’t have to be scary — at least, not for your stomach. With a few simple swaps, you can fill your home with the smells of chocolate, pumpkin, and spice instead of worry.

Bake up those ghost cupcakes. Cut out some cookie bats. Host a candy swap that makes every kid feel seen.
Because at Eat G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R, we’re all about bringing the joy (and the sugar rush) back to those who’ve spent too long sitting out the party.

Here’s to a spooky season full of treats you can actually eat. 💛
