Parents - did I do the right thing?

This is not something I’m agonizing over but being an older parent, I know some things are done differently now. A neighbor’s son who is about 7 came over and helped me shovel for a while, unasked for. I asked if he was allowed to have candy and then gave him two Baby Ruth bars as a thank-you. I told him twice that they had nuts in them and that he should ask his Mom if he could have them. He put them in his pocket. Was I cautious enough or should I have checked with the parents before offering? I know the family so “stranger danger” is not an issue with this.
