We just bought candy for Halloween and it made me (belatedly) think of this thread in panic. Peanut butter cups are pretty common (and fragrant), not to mention things snickers or paydays or peanut m&ms.

The kids I know with peanut allergies do just what they tell you to do. They trick or treat with everyone else and then mom and dad go through the candy and throw out any with nuts (or if really sensitive that might be from a factory that has nuts.) It does mean they get a lot of starbursts and lollipops.
It is pretty rare to have the peanut allergy so severe that peanut dust sets off the allergy. I guess those kids can't go trick or treating or to the grocery store?
