What candy do you let your kids eat?

Just Born marshmallow treats (pumpkins, ghosts, cats), Dum Dum lollipops, some fruit gummies (Richfood brand). That's about it. She is milk and egg-allergic, too. We make our own chocolate candy from Hershey's unsweetened baking chocolate.

BS312 - I was just wondering if you can share your chocolate candy recipes - my son also has milk and egg allergy. Have you had any succes in making milk-free fudge or carmels? When I try to substitute soy milk for these candy recipes it tastes awful! Any suggestions?

Have you done a search on here for this info? I know there have been numerous discussions on safe candy.....
We are comfortable with the following nut free items:
Just Born products (Marshmallow Peeps)
PEZ Candy
Dum Dum Lollipops
Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks
Twizzlers

*** Note: Always read the labels for nut warning, as manufacturing conditions are always changing... what is safe today may not be safe tomorrow.. ALWAYS READ LABELS ***
As Cindy mentioned, Nestle Aero, Kit Kat, Coffee Crisp, Smarties and Mirage are safe, and Trebor Allan Fuzzy Peach, Swedish Berries, Sour Patch Kids, Orange Crush candy, Sour Cherry Blasters, etc. are safe.
In addition to the above lists, here are more ideas:
Mars/M&M/Effem:
Skittles (Canada & USA)
Starburst fruit chews (Canada & USA)
Dove caramel bar (Canada)
Bounty coconut bar (Canada)
Cadbury/Neilson:
Caramilk 47g, 50g, 52g, 100g are safe (the mini Caramilk, pumpkin Caramilk, and giant Caramilk 200g may contain peanuts)
Dairy Milk rolls 47g are safe (all other Dairy Milk may contain peanuts)
Crunchie 44g
Rosebuds 37g
Coconut 41g
Pep 48g
Flake 32g
Jersey Milk buds 32g (all other Jersey Milk may contain peanuts)
Cerises 45g
Choclair 35g (*Hazelnut flavour is artificial. Choclairs do not contain any nut ingredients)
Nestle
In addition to the bars listed earlier, Nestle Willy Wonka makes many candies in nut free environments such as Nerds, Runts, Sweet Tarts, Shock Tarts, etc.
Ce De Candy
Rockets (Canada) are safe
Smarties (USA) are safe
Hershey USA
And in the USA only, the regular size Hershey bar and regular size Rolos and Kit Kat bites (not the Kit Kat bar) are safe. In Canada, the Hershey bar and Rolos are not safe (may contain peanuts). In the USA, the Kit Kat bar may contain peanuts.
Hope this list helps.

Thanks for that list, Erik!
I buy two boxes of the Nestl

Yes Erik, thanks for that list...My son has no hardly had any chocolate candy (USA). I was always so afraid of the chocolate bars due to cross contam. issues, especially Hersey bars and was just wondering the other day about Rolos, I'll have to try them w/him, since I loved them as a kid...Yumm Yumm!

Lollipops! (He's 3).

What about Swedish Fish? I let my son try these after receiving them at a birthday party and doing a search on this board a couple of days ago. Do you consider these safe for a PA person?

Jana R- We haven't tried fudge or caramels. To make chocolate "bars", melt 8 oz. Hershey's Unsweetened Baking Chocolate with 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon Crisco together in the microwave. Stir in 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir in 2 cups powdered sugar (knead with your hands). Spread in a 13 x 9 inch lightly Criscoed pan. If you freeze this, you can break it up easily. We put it into a plastic bag, then use a ballpeen hammer to break it into small bar size or into chocolate chip size. I want to try making chocolate lollipops by putting it into plastic candy molds with those white sticks that you can buy in craft stores. Yummy!
