ot: Safe chocolate for Easter?

[Guest guest]

Milk, dairy and SOY free. Can not find soy free again this year. Have in past.

Any one have any luck?

Enjoy Life chocolate chips are safe. Can I just melt in those cute molds and

make my own? Will that work? I can get Enjoy Life candy bars and chips here

locally.

This is for my nt 7.5 food allergy guy who has had more reactions this week.

One in school in art, first contact reaction he's had in all his school years.

Weird! Now we've been doing green tea since he gets no soda for a treat. Tummy

ache last night! Gurrrrrrrr.....I'm so ready to pop the bubble on no easter

bunny etc...... It's hard!

Thanks

My son can't have milk, gluten, or corn. We get the Trader Joe's Marshmallow

Treats (like Rice Krispie Treats) and they also have little bags of Dried

Bananas that he likes that are yummy. Also Disney now has some dried fruit

snacks that Walmart sells that are safe. So we just do non-chocolate treats for

easter and he doesn't mind as long as he has things he likes to eat in his

basket and some little toys or a DVD or something. He is 8. I don't think the

Trader Joe's Marshmallow treats have soy, but I don't think they do. I don't

have any in the house right now to check. They are good!

This link is from 2009, but I'm pretty sure it lists numerous companies that

sell gluten/dairy free easter treats. You'll have to check further on the soy.

I'm guessing they sell out quickly.

Soy!!!! So frustrating. There was a company, not last year but the year

before, had it! Paid dearly but........ I do a lot of non candy type foods,

our egg hunt has coins in them.

Thanks

Soy free is harder to find. If it's dairy free most tend to replace it with

soy.  Enjoy life is the only chocolate our son can handle. The Trader Joe's

marshmallow treats are soy free, but have evaporated cane juice if your child's

yeast is high.  

We use dried fruit leathers,  gummy fruits if are okay, or coin money too.  My

son's 11  accepted his diet it in time.

Hi Tammy

I have found the same problem and no solution. I know my husband tried to

buy me some chocolate for valentines that was soy and dairy free. I will

pick him brain when he gets home, but it does say may contain traces.. and I

did react to it, but it could of also been the corn in it. So its probably

no use.

I think melting enjoylife chocolate chips and finding some sort of mold is

the best bet. Could also make chocolate dipped marshmallows..

I didn’t bother much with chocolate buying this easter because cocoa itself

is something that causes a reaction with ds… a nice drawn out two day

reaction. But naturalcandystore.com has been where I got the rest of the

Easter treats.

Good Luck and fill me in if you do find something. I know how frustrating

chocolate is!!

Tammy,

Yes, it is hard I'm right there in the trenches w/you! We use Enjoy Life

chips and melt them down into fun shapes. We have even added a pinch of sea

salt on top of the coin shapes that we make. The salty-sweet taste is a super

treat for us here

Another great option is The Natural Candy Store. I have been very pleased with

their products. They even have corn syrup-free candy, which has been terribly

difficult for us to find. Their site is super user friendly. On the main page

is a key that defines each of the icons they use to represent if the candy is

GF, kosher, vegan, allergen-free, Feingold stage I or II, etc.

Hope you find something special for your little man

Blessings,

This is a homemade option for you. You can buy Enjoy Life semi sweet

chocolate chips and melt it with alittle bit of palm oil shortening and put

it into bunny shaped candy molds and refrigerate them. The Enjoy Life

chocolate chips don’t have gluten, casein, corn, or soy. They are yummy. I

dip strawberries in the melted chocolate and them set up beautifully also.

Happy Easter.

Robin,

What a wonderful resource. Thank you for posting the link.

I've added cayenne to our chocolate. Nuts, sea salt, and certain spices really

make chocolate fun. Luckily, my son actually prefers dark, dark chocolate (70%

cocoa and higher).

Teraza gave me The Natural Candy Store info and I placed an order last night.

Amazing the cost but oh well! HATE IT!

I'll have to see if I can find my candy shape kit and give it a try melting down

Enjoy Life chips. At least they make a candy bar and they are cheaper at my

local store than on line last night.

I thought of that google last night and actually looked at their web site.

Their chocolate has dairy. But thanks, appreciate it!

This is why I love the internet!
