Answer

This good offering of your neighbour should be welcomed.

You should use this as a means of getting them closer to Islam. We suggest you educate your children to accept the fruits and sweets but if there is any doubt of halaal and haraam they should abstain and without the knowledge of your nieghbour dispose of the sweets or fruits.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
