Disney Easter Candy

First of all, I want to apologize for my tardiness in posting this morning! Believe it or not, I have been working since last night on tomorrow's post. It will be (if everything goes right!) my first video tutorial. I will teach you how to make safe chocolate Easter eggs. But, my camcorder was not compatible with our new computer. I actually had to buy and install hardware. It totally freaked me out but I did it!! So stay tuned tomorrow!!



The holidays always scare me. Even though I make sure I buy safe candy for Tyler many people at our church also buy him candy. They are all very diligent about not giving him anything with peanuts. But, its hard to expect someone that does not live with PA to understand cross contamination. I don't fault them at all for that.

Last night someone gave both of my boys an Easter basket. They had already told my husband they were going to and put M&M's in it. My husband told them Skittles were a much better choice.

When they got their baskets they also had some Disney marshmallow treats in them. They also included the package (a nice touch!). I was thrilled when I saw this statement just below the ingredients:

"This product does not contain peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, or
wheat gluten. It has been manufactured on dedicated equipment."


Disney really "gets it" when it comes to food allergies!! Yeah!! Of course I immediately rushed to the giver of the baskets and asked where he got them. He said the dollar store! Wow! Safe candy for a dollar!! I am so going to get more before Easter is over!!

The picture above is from flickr but is exactly what our bag looks like. So keep your eyes out for these before Sunday!

Nice find. On the subject of Disney, I just got off the phone with Regal Candy who distribute Disney chocolate eggs up here in Canada. The boxes aren't as well labelled since they don't say anything about peanuts one way or another, but Regal was able to look up the UPC code and give me exact details about where and how they were made and packaged. They're safe!

How exciting! Hope they enjoy their Disney treats. Happy Easter!

Robyn- Can you recommend some other peanut free treats. So far we have Starburst jellybeans (which does not mention peanuts or equipment so I am assuming they are safe) and am also thinking about giving Peppermint Patties and Skittles (which may be too small for my 17 month old) Any other ideas??
