We had planned to get some chapman's when we were there hoping to find it in individually wrapped pkgs. No dice-they only sell it in the boxes. So with 3 small-ish kids and 2 adults I didn't want to have to put away a full box of ice creams at once. Now all 3 kids are lactose intolerant so it's a moot point.

They do now have some small boxes with about 6 items in it.  Not always available, and we never know where we'll find them.

They do have some lactose free products....including ice cream sandwiches?  It lists modified milk ingredients.....guess I don't know what lactose free means, but obviously not the same as dairy free?

Mars bars are also peanut-free, and Mars caramel too.(in the USA they are called Milky Way). You will see the peanut-free logo on all Mars bars made in Canada.

Nestle regular size and snack size Aero, Kit Kat, Smarties, Coffee Crisp, and Mirage are peanut free and nut-free.There are new large safe Aero bars too (strawberry, caramel , dark chocolate varieties)

Several varieties of Quaker granola bars are peanut-free, and several varieties of cookies including Dare too. Dare candies are labelled as peanut and nut-free too.

:-)

Oh yes, I found the Mars bars (what I know as Milky Way). Not a fan of the all-caramel Mars bar (what is called Mars Simply Caramel in the US)  Haven't see Mirage, but I wasn't looking.  It looks like a type of Aero kind of bar? 

I have to be honest...not a fan of the Aero.

...still have to try Poutine

That's going to be one interesting declaration form.

tehehe ---

the 20-piece snack packs have a $1 coupon if you buy 2 (4)bar full-size packs...which are also on sale.

So --- I went back to Shoppers tonight with my 2 coupons...got (4) full-size packs of Coffee Crisp and Kit Kat. I bought 2 new 20-piece packs of Kit Kat and Coffee Crisp...each has another coupon. Tomorrow I'll go back and buy 4-more 4-packs. 

Yes, interesting form indeed!

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

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

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

I ordered a bag of snack size Kit Kats of PNFP and they were safe.
Isn't Chapman's ice cream safe? 
Aero Bars.. mmm.

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

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

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

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!
