Suggest a peanut-free snack that I can buy and give to all the kids in class for my DS's birthday

By peanut-free I mean the package says something like "no peanuts, no tree nuts, etc., and not processed near peanuts or on machines with peanuts". Well, you know what I mean. Some kids are allergic in class so I would like to bring something that everyone would like.

Sugar cookies or doughnuts, and check the label of the box.

Our son is allergic to peanuts. If you want to go the healthy route (and unfortunately more expensive), then I would suggest pre-packaged fruit cups, applesauce, pkgd sliced apples, etc. If you want to buy something you know the kids'll recognize and still unexpensive: oreo cookies (it's halloween time, so you'll see more of these pkgd smaller), fruit snacks, dum-dum lollipops, skittles, goldfish, smarties, etc.

oops, inexpensive

Oreos! no peanut, wheat, milk or egg. this is what you offer when you have no idea what the allergy situation might be for a big group of kids.

Of course, they're allergen free because they're basically made out of chemicals. But sometimes you do what you've got to do.

I think Oreos have wheat flour as a main ingredient.

I remember the time when kids with allergies were taught how to look after themselves. They were not overprotected, and they soon learned to watch out for the odd foods themselves, not to expect other people to be experts on the field and to dance around and fuss over their allergies.

And if the kids in question are 2, or young 3s - then what do you do? I mean, we have our 2 year old chop her own firewood, but not every family has such a mature 24-mo-old. These kids may need looking after when it comes to life-threatening allergies. Asshole.

How about rice crispy treats?

We did Popsicles for my son's preschool. Also I think you can do ice cream sandwiches (check labels for right brand).

My 4 yo has a nut allergy and she is very good about speaking up about it, asking if a food contains nuts. But the adults are the weak link. They don't pay attention to the ingredients and tell my DD that something doesn't contain nuts when it does. And they don't wash the nut oils off of all the kids hands and faces as well as tables and chairs.

It's best to not have it in the classroom.

Are you allowed to make something? I just tried the apple crisp recipe from the Post and they were yummy. Nothing but apples, some sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

It says to heat the oven to 200, but I had to do it to 225 to make them really crispy.
