Newsflash, if you have a severely debilitating peanut allergy, it's highly unreasonable to ask for peanut free candy, and you should feel bad, because even though you had no control over it, it's still your fault anyway.
You cannot ask everybody else in a society to make special purchases of 7 different Halloween treats to accommodate every conceivable dietary restriction. Halloween candy trading is a thing.
I want to educate you all on peanut allergies.
So I have a ridiculously deadly peanut allergy, if I smell it too much I die. If I eat it, same thing. So before halloween, I make a list of candies I can or cannot have. Then, I take only the ones I know I can eat. If there is not one, I politely decline. If I get back home and there is one with allergens, I give it to the late night trick or treaters. You can't expect someone to come up with a replacement though, that's rude.
If kids start pulling this shit ima give them broccoli

I can understand the peanut allergy, (I know two of my regulars have severe allergies) but, I KNOW ahead of time they have those allergies. So I buy stuff that doesn't have peanuts. But the first year I didn't have anything, cause I didn't know, and they didn't say anything about it. The next year I asked my neighbors (their grandparents) what they liked, and that's when I found out. I feel like most normal kids with allergies and sensitivities don't expect special treatment, or a lot of candy on Halloween, because they don't want to draw attention to the fact that theyre different
Yeah can't really judge them for not wanting blown up like a balloon, have diarrhoea or feel ill for the rest of the week

"Of course peanut allergies are horrible and it's a very serious condition...but MAYBE...if we just look the other way for about ten years...No more peanut allergies." -Louis C.K.
