Valentine's Day

Hello,

With Valentine's Day around the corner, looking into safe candy. Are any of the conversation hearts safe?
I didn't think so, but seeing if any out there. Dealing with PA/TNA.

Per label reading only, Brachs small conversation hearts in bags and boxes appear to be safe.  Large ones are not.  Necco in all bags and boxes are not safe.

That info is for PA and TNA only.  I believe wheat and egg make Brachs unsafe (or I chickened out because all conversation hearts look the same and didn't want to confuse my kids).
DS1 - Wheat, rye, barley and egg
DS2 - peanuts
DD -  tree nuts, soy and sunflower
Me - bananas, eggplant, many drugs

Seriously Brachs looked okay for PA/TNA?  I still don't think I'll ever be comfy buying Brachs.  It's been such a no-no for soooooo long, I don't know if I can't get past it.  I'd have to call them.

There's always Sweet Tarts hearts!  They have both the regular sweet tart hears with sayings and gummi ones.

We also have Andes Valentine Chocolates, Dove Swirl Hearts - Milk Chocolate and Raspberry or Strawberry,  Tootsie Rolls.

The hershey-ets in our walmart read safe. They're in a tube with a heart on top.

A lot of the Hershey products look safe.  The Valentines pink caramel Hersheys kisses are one of my daughter's favourites.

Just got DS some Dove Milk hearts to send up for V-Day, along with a batch of brownies I'll bake tomorrow.

Ghirardelli Sweet Hearts assorted chocolates are made in a facility that doesn't handle peanuts, according to the company.

I saw a Hershey's XOXO chocolate box that looked safe but was made in Mexico.
