That was MY Twix bar!
Speaking as a parent of a child with severe food allergies including nuts, I find its just easier to be a responsible parent and go through my kid’s candy afterwards. Then I remove what he can’t eat as well as all of the Twix bars which I eat myself.... to protect him..... from something or another....
Such a common sense approach may soon be outlawed.
You do it right instead of spoiling all the fun for the rest of the kids.
Thank you! I have one witb a peanut allergy (non-threatening) and we do the same. He’s old enough now to make those choices. I don’t care who gives what ‘treats’. It’s about the ‘giving’.
None of my six kids had food allergies and we still went though their candy bags just to check them for open packages and any strange items...
That's the normal thing a parent would do, not try and make my neighbors CONFORM to my child's special needs...
Those Twix bars are really dangerous. You can never be too careful protecting the kids from them.
This is the way to do it.

Interestingly, I don’t know how many teenage girls said they had allergies today while shoving through my stash looking for candy they preferred. Next year, they’re all getting 45 cent lollypops.
I found a Heath bar in one of my kid’s bags. IMO they are even more dangerous than Twix. I eliminated the threat immediately. Lucky boy.
I have two kids with food allergies (one of them real bad), and my wife and I did the same thing. My wife made them some “safe” rice crispy treats, so they still got something yummy. Plenty of candy here!
sounds delicious
LOL. My son has a mild peanut allergy, so I always scored on the Reese’s cups when my wife went through his candy.
Ditto, though my kiddo is allergic to dairy, so confiscating the twix bars really is for his safety!
I would NEVER presume to tell my neighbors, or my son’s class, what to hand out for treats. His safety is my responsibility and I would never surrender that responsibility to anyone else.
If you read the sign posted that’s what the parents claims to do and reasonably the child gets upset about it, so they ask that folks just keep in consideration children with food allergies and lists multiple things that are allergy safe including types of candy.
Nothing to get worked up on this, much ado about nothing.
