Halloween biscuits

Covid is not passed on by eating biscuits, or by eating food handled by others, it’s by droplets or aerosols. I’m sure you thoroughly wash your hands.
Young children should be accompanied by an adult, older ones will be aware of their own allergies.
I think you’ve made lovely biscuits out of kindness, so go ahead feeling chuffed!
We don’t get any callers and don’t bake!

What a lovely thought.
Wish I lived in your road, I’d dress up for one of those biscuits, they sound delicious.
Agree with the last poster. Older children will know their allergies and younger ones should be accompanied.
Happy Halloween ?

You've done a really lovely thing. Sounds fun and delicious. I will be knocking on your door at about 6pm tomorrow evening. BOO! Trick or treat!!

I'm sure they will be much appreciated.
Any leftovers will be very welcome on GN!

We haven't had anyone call for years but I always just buy a few sweets in case. DH bought some chocolate eyeballs too

Well, I couldn't eat your biscuits unless they are gluten free.

Yes I think it is a lovely idea, but I also think that your daughter has a point. Difficult.

Those sound wonderful, travelasfar, but someone told me last year that anything offered needed to have a wrapper of some sort, so little fingers who touch but don't take don't spread anything nasty. Maybe you could put a little bit of cellophane and black ribbon round them, make them look more spooky? Just saying, but it's a lovely thing that you have made the effort for, well done you!!

I think the biscuits were intended for children kitty and I assume gluten free falls into the allergy category, I stand corrected if not.

What a lovely thoughttravelsafar I would be happy to have one.

Not all children are accompanied.

I praise your thoughts behind these treats travelsafar. The children will love them and I am sure the adults and children with allergies will ask first.

I wonder how many people have bought in gluten free treats - just in case.

To be honest it wouldn't cross my mind to buy gluten free for Halloween treats .

Lovely idea Travelsafar

Should no one take responsibility for themselves or their children ?
If your child has an allergy and is not able to cope with it on their own then a parent or responsible adult should be with them.

Well said ,Ginny
I would be horrified if I unwittingly caused someone to have an allergic reaction but I would not have thought about it in this situation.

Coeliacs have an autoimmune condition, it's not an allergy.

More people are aware of that these days but we weren't many years ago.

Actually, home-made GF biscuits are very nice.

Did anyone knock travelsafar?

I put a lit metal pumpkin and sweet bowl out on my hedge with bagged sweets, six bags went. I also had a cauldron with 'lick or treat' with bagged dog biscuits for the many doggos who go past - three of those went.

Isn't it tomorrow?

Happy Halloween travelsafar.

When I took my children trick or treating twenty years ago I only allowed my children eat sweets that were wrapped and they had no allergies. I wouldn’t have allowed them anything homemade I’m sorry. I’d heard too many horror stories from American news stories.

I would not think that there would be many trick or treaters. Apparently 1:7 have COVID.

I know, but Shandy asked yesterday, Saturday, if anyone had called.

Caught me Calistemon! I'd forgotten the original wording by the time I got to the bottom of the post. Putting mine out again tonight, although they might float away ... it has been raining for hours here.

I have bought sweets that I don't like, so if no-one calls I won't be tempted to eat them.
And some satsumas, whether the trick or treaters like them or not they'll get some ????
