Ah, I wondered what happened to the Allan ones. So sad. I used to buy ten cases of them every year to enjoy year-round as a sweet treat. My husband was just asking about the rainbow ones yesterday too and I said we'd look for them, but not now since they don't exist any more.

Bulk Barn had Spangler large candy canes and the label was much like that of Allan, with free from X, Y, Z (I forget what all the list included, but for sure free from peanuts, tree nuts, milk and wheat) and made on dedicated lines in a PN-free facility. I bought a few, and may go back to buy a bunch more to enjoy throughout the year.

Dare makes PN/TN-free shortbread also.

Some Bulk Barn have Robrtson’s candy. So far all I’ve found is the Clear Candy Toys. I bought a bag for us, and one for each of the kid’s families.

I would have liked to get some of the Old Fashioned Christmas candy and Chicken Bones.

I saw Wholesome candy canes at Whole Foods.

Yes, we bought Allan candy canes for years .. for some reason Hershey bought Allan's and shut down the candy cane manufacturing.

Loblaws had some safe candy canes made by Wholesome this year - the brand Ciel mentioned :)

Not easy to find Spangler candy canes in Canada - thanks for the tip about Bulk Barn.

Laura Secord also had lots of allergy safe chocolates this year (peanut-free, gluten-free, egg-free).. they had rosebuds, caramel filled chocolate maple leafs, and also chocolate Santas! IN case anyone is doing Boxing Day shopping.

And there is also Freddo at Dollarama which has several peanut-free, egg-free, gluten-free varieties
