Review of Allerneeds.com & a Giveaway! ****GIVEAWAY ENDED****

A couple of months ago (before all the craziness in our home started!), Allerneeds.com asked if they could send me some of their products to review. I happily agreed but knew who the real reviewer would be: Tyler!

Allerneeds sent me an incredible box of goodies. I can't tell you how excited Tyler was! Usually when candy is around, I have a special safe treat in my purse. But this time everything was safe and just for him! I didn't even make him share with his little brother for once. (Don't worry, Dylan has plenty of treats Tyler can't eat.)

In his box of peanut-free goodies were the following:

No Nuttin':

• Apple Cinnamon granola bar
• Double Chocolate Chunk granola bar
• Vanilla Cinnamon granola clusters

Enjoy Life:

• Beach Bash trail mix
• Very Berry snack bar

AllerEnergy:

• Blueberry nutrition bar
• Chocolate Chip nutrition bar

Mars:

• Dark candy bar (made in Canada so it has the peanut-free label I've blogged about here)

Any company that goes out of its way to cater to those who can't have peanuts is certainly a company worth supporting. The thing that impressed me most about this company (besides their products & generosity) is their website! I have never seen anything quite like it.

I know that many of my readers deal with multiple allergies. Just select what allergies your child has and it will generate a list of safe products. If you are just dealing with peanut and/or tree nut allergies, all of their products are safe!

On the orange bar at the bottom, it says "Shop by Allergy." Just select which allergies you deal with and **presto** a list of safe products!!



Honestly, could allergy-free shopping be any easier?

I'll be the first to admit that candy like this is not cheap. Their prices, however, are very comparable to other food allergy sites I have visited. I consider myself very frugal but when it comes to having safe candy that allows Tyler to feel "special" and like he is not missing out on anything, I am willing to pay whatever is needed.

Tyler has not tried quite everything yet but he has tried a few things. He loved the Mars (we already had those on hand). He also loved the AllerEnergy Chocolate Chip Nutrition Bar.

On the other hand, he was not so crazy about the Vanilla Caramel clusters from No Nuttin'. He's not a picky eater so that was a surprise. (I make these from scratch so that may be why.) I tasted it and it tasted fine to me.

Even if you are not in the market right now for this type of product, I still encourage you to check out their website. I know you will be as impressed as I was. If you are like me, just knowing where you can get some safe treats for your PA kid when you need to is worth a lot!

You can click the logo below to visit their site. (It is also on my left sidebar.)
