So, I have $800 value border-tariff exemption...what is the latest safe Canadian chocolate items I'll want to find and bring back?

Kit Kats...and...what else?

peanut/tree nut allergies,
Thanks!

Smarties.  They're similar to M&M's, but safe. 

Dare cookies.

Laura Secord now has some peanut free.  I haven't bought any, so I don't know if they are also nut free.

Which reminds me....if you see the little peanut picture with a line through it, read the ingredient anyway.  Some companies are now labelling peanut free, but there are actual nuts in the item. (Nuts are not peanuts, so I'm not upset about this labelling.  For a person that is only avoiding peanuts I do think this is a step forward.  But, I just want to make sure you know to check, if you avoid both.)

Aero chocolate bars (most flavours are safe)
Coffee crisp
Mars Bars
KinderSurprise (have to eat them here. Not allowed in the States)

Dollarama has a lot of peanut free stuff. They sell a brand "Original" that has a lot of peanut free.  And Freddo chocolates. (Not one of my favourite chocolates, but to each their own.)

Check labels-nestle ca labels well. Also look for vadebonceour chocolates (I think freddo is also the same company). I may have butchered that spelling.

This was awhile ago and I have no idea whether or not they are still safe, but DS got quite the thrill over being able to get a McFlurry safely.  :-)

are Kit Kats still safe in Canada?

Read labels, but last time I checked the regular ones were safe.

Not the bunny ones though. They had a peanut warning.

Libre Naturals: dark chocolate chips, granola bars
Vadeboncoeur
Dare cookies and treats (not all are safe, but they have excellent labels)
SunRype fruit snacks (not chocolate, but yummy and safe)
Girl Guide cookies (if you can find them, made by Dare)
Chapman's frozen treats (ice cream, popsicles, etc. - not all are safe, look for the PN/TN-free labels)

Another reminder about the peanut-free symbol.  It's just that: peanuts.  Some companies use confusing wording too, showing the peanut-free logo and saying nut-free and I always have to double check those because you never know if they mean peanuts, nuts, or both.  You can find many products with the peanut-free logo that contain or may contain nuts as well.  (Peanut-free almonds, for example, or some granola bars.)

Happy shopping!

The Walmart brand ice cream also has some peanut free flavors.

The bag of bite size Kit Kats were not safe (at least not the package we checked in Quebec).

Most Chapman's is safe, and is clearly labeled,

But it melts, so not good for transporting. ;)

The snack size is different than the size I was referring to. The bite size are like the mini Rolos and Snickers we have in the U.S. They come in a bag and are not individually wrapped. Those were not safe. You're right about the smaller snack size of the Canadian Kit Kats.

I found another web site that carries Canadian chocolates.  canadianfavourites.com

I couldn't find it in Quebec or Montreal. I was so disappointed. Well, that just gives us a reason to visit Toronto. ;)
