I found Sour Patch Bunnies (made by Kraft, but made in Canada), Hershey's individual chocolate bunnies (addicted), and milk chocolate covered marshmallow eggs so far.

I found lots too.  Hershey kisses and caramel kisses (purple, pink foil) ...  Hershey colour foil wrapped chocolate eggs, Hershey Eggies (candy coated chocolate eggs), some of the Hershey Chocolate bunnies are safe.. always check labels just in case

Also many Kinder bunnies and eggs have peanut-free logos (however, I think these are banned in the USA --- and assault rifles are permitted.. huh?  ???)

For those in Canada, Shoppers Drug Mart has a large selection of peanut free Easter chocolate.

Those kinder eggs are awesome. Stupid US ban... Apparently someone in the US is allowed to sell a similar product because their toy container has a large ridge all the way around that sticks out of the chocolate. I can't find any allergen info on their site and the nutrition label doesn't load so I'll probably give them a call.

chocotreasure is not safe for nut allergies. I found it on their site somewhere.

are Starburst jelly beans safe?

I went to Target today to buy candy for my kids Easter baskets. I read the lables on everything but I just wanted to check here too. I bought Hershey's milk chocolate bunnies (6 pack, 1.2 oz each) Hershey's milk chocolate covered marshmallow eggs (6 pack, .95 oz each) Hershey's milk chocolate eggs, Whoppers Robins Eggs, Starburst jelly beans, starburts wrapped candiys, and fruity tootsie rolls. None of these had any kind of warning on them at all, and I think I have read about them all being safe on various nut-free mom blogs.

I haven't either but DH has bought a boat load of candy, and I didn't want to give DD much candy this year.  Oh well.

I bought way early and yet I still forget to get it ready (have to divide it between us and the in-laws-they give us $$ and we buy the candy for them to give the kids) until the night before. Go figure.

We saw Swedish Fish jelly beans, not eggs.

When I am at Michael's today I may get some special Jelly Bellies now they're safe. I have a dance with the date that brung ya philosophy with Gimbels. They've been there for our community. But we do NOT need that many jelly beans around and I am not going to Walmart today. I don't actually know where one is here yet. There is no lack of shopping places here. And if course, Targets every mile (home turf). Jelly Bellies can be bought in small quantities. :)

One thing I got this year (and it's kind of too late to recommend it for Easter) is some maple candy. I got it from http://www.vermontmaplesweets.com (http://www.vermontmaplesweets.com) and they assured me they make nothing with nuts or peanuts. My kids will be thrilled.
