You Might Be a Family with Food Allergies at Easer If...

  • Your son and you discussed how the Easter Bunny knew about peanut allergies and only gave him candy he could eat.
  • You used the term "safe" to describe certain foods to your son and niece and nephew (the allergic trio in our family).
  • You made a carrot cake that was nut free.
  • You rejoiced with family members that Hershey's now makes chocolate Easter eggs that don't have a cross contamination warning.
  • You gave away some cleaning products because they contained a no-no in your home: coconut.
  • You had an in-depth conversation with your sister-in-law about Disney World's food allergy policies.
  • The only nuts at the dinner table were your husband and brother-in-law!

DARN! I missed the Hershey eggs! I usually just sip that whole aisle! Mine got the same old tootsie rolls, sweet tarts, gum....ugh, some chocolate would be great! Now, if Hershey would come out with a Chocolate Bunny it would REALLY feel like Easter :)

Don't worry, I missed them too!! My sister in law told me how she found them. She said they were made in Canada so that probably why they were safe! Canada is so much smarter about FA than the US!!

After discussing at length safe candy to be hidden in the egg hunt at the Grandparents....every egg they opened up was M&Ms. I just don't get it....

Hi-
I found a "nut-free" chocolate bunny for my daughter, and she was so happy! It was Cadbury solid milk chocolate (by the Hershey Co.).
