What Candy is Safe for Toddlers?
Peppermints.
Jolly ranchers.
Lifesavers.
Jawbreakers.
Any other hard candy: Werthers, butterscotch candy, lemon drops, candy drops, hard fruit candy, etc.
The safest candy for a toddler is soft and one that melts quickly and easily. For example, a Hershey chocolate bar or Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Avoid common choking hazards such as whole nuts, chewy candy, and hard candy.
Although your child can have candy at age three when their full set of baby teeth have come in, start them off with candies that can melt in their mouth like chocolate. You could even let them have melting candies as early as two.
