Becca- Jelly Belly are peanut and egg free.  But they DO have tree nuts in the facility.

I'll let you know --- going to look today.

Otherwise, I'm looking over candy corn recipes.  I have one that i tried a few years ago --- it was okay --- difficult to make -- and really didn't taste like candy corn to me, but DS loved it. 

I'm finding some other recipes, but I am wondering if anyone else has tried making candy corn --- what recipe did you use --- did it taste like candy corn? 

It seems every recipe I find looks like a lot of work.  But, if it tastes like the real thing, I will try it.

Guess what --- I finally made the trek to TJMaxx, and FOUND THE CANDY CORN!!!   :D

(yippee!!   :thumbsup:)

I had to look quite a bit.  It was not with the rack of the Jelly Belly jelly beans.  Finally found it over by the Halloween decor.  Rather expensive, but when I showed it to DS today after school, his reaction was worth it!!  He reminded me he hasn't had candy corn for years . . . . yes, I know!  I've been looking for years for a safe one.  He was probably 5 the last time he had any, Brachs before they added soy and then the cross-contam. statement.  (he was allergic to soy at that time)

And it tastes good.  DS and I had to open and try right away.  It has the right texture and consistency; the taste is ever so slightly different, but not enough for DS to notice.  He's HAPPY.   ;D

Yeah! $3.99 a bag here.... Getting used to shelling out big bucks for things I never used to think about twice! So glad you found them and they were worth the wait! :thumbsup:

Still nothing safe for us, so I bought corn syrup and confectioner's sugar yesterday.

Working up the urge to make it, but must wait for the rain to stop.

krasota, I'm sorry there isn't a candy corn that is safe for you.  I'm interested to know about the recipe you use.  DS still wants the "fun" of making it, LOL!

krasota -- I cannot recall what it is you have to stay away from, but here is a candy corn that I received an email about this morning -- we cannot have it, but maybe? you can??

GP,
It's the eggs in candy corn that's an issue for krasota and for my DD.  And for krasota, I think soy is also an issue.

While Jelly Belly candy corn is egg-free, it's not safe for those with TNA.

Yes, we cannot have eggs, either.  I did not know about the tree nuts.  Gotta go back and read.

The Peanut Free Planet candy corn has egg whites and soy protein.  Sorry -- I could not remember krasota's allergens.

So, tree nuts in the facility of Jelly Belly?  Are they run on a shared line?

Okay, went back and read.  I do see they are run on a shared line.  Bummer.

Eggs & soy.  The first post lists the problematic allergens.  Peanuts & many tree nuts, gluten, soy, egg.
