I've always made sure that my Halloween candy bowl contains things like individually wrapped Life Savers as well as chocolate and/or peanut butter treats. I figure that a child (or his/her accompanying parent) will give me a heads up if s/he has a chocolate or peanut butter allergy, and I can then pick out a few Life Savers for the child's bag. I also keep a small bowl of spare change for children who trick-or-treat for UNICEF, and if there's a major allergy problem in question, or if the child (or parents) mention that the child is diabetic, I'll give the child some change.
