There are no 7-11's near me, and I don't drive. Another store that often carries the *limited time only* candies is out of walking distance.
My 6 year old loves chocolate but it causes him some problems. Not to serious, but painful. White chocolate doesn't cause it - and he loves those white chocolate bars with the cookie crumbs (can't remember the name [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/redface.gif[/img] ). Anyway - so white smarties would be great.
dh is home for the weekend - so maybe I can get him to take me on a candy run. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/biggrin.gif[/img]
Hello Canadians!
Are the new Orange Smarties, Kit Kat Vanilla and Kit Kat Strawberry I see on the Canadian Sweets web site peanut free? They are not listed under the Canadian Sweets Allergy Free section but I am not sure if that is an oversight since these products are all pretty new.
I will also be asking Canadian Sweets and Panhandle about getting the Vanilla stuff mentioned above.
Thanks in advance for the Candy Guru advice!
The Smarties chocolate bars at my 7-11 have a peanut warning on them!!
I will have to check about the flavoured KitKats and such. My son wanted to try a Smarties Bar as he loves Smarties. It had a peanut warning on the package! So no go.

Yes.. the smarties embedded in this bar are safe, but the chocolate itself is manufactured in a facility that also processes peanut products, so that is why these bars are unsafe as indicated by the allergy warning.
The allergy warning is quite good, as you can see in the example below, as there is a graphic with the image of a peanut right on the packaging.

Hi Chicago,
Yes, the following Nestle Canada products are all safe and do not have any allergy warnings on the packaging:
Orange Smarties
Kit Kat Vanilla
Kit Kat Strawberry
Vanilla Smarties
Coffee Crisp Latte
Aero White
I agree with you.. the products are so new, they have not been listing in the "allergy" section of [url="http://www.canadiansweets.com"]www.canadiansweets.com[/url]

***********************************
One important note: [b]do not order Kit Kat Chunky Caramel[/b]
The Kit Kat Chunky Caramel is imported into Canada from overseas, and has a 'may contain nuts/peanuts' warning on the label.
All other Canadian Kit Kats and Kit Kat Chunky bars are safe.
(however, it is always best to read labels [b]everytime[/b] as manufacturing conditions can change over time)

hmm.. is it Hershey's cookies & creme? maybe.. I didn't eat it for year though so can't remember
As for Aero white, I have bad news... it is a white chocolate Aero, but it is coated in milk chocolate. Maybe the vanilla smarties would be more suitable?
good luck finding the new bars [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]
Thank you erik. I knew you would know the answer.
My dd would love the latte coffee crisps, different Kit Kats and all. I will contact [url="http://www.canadiansweets.com"]www.canadiansweets.com[/url] and see what they can do....
Her candy "possiblites" are even more limited now due to braces (no gummy things, carmel, taffy, Skittles etc...) so new chocolate treats are really great for us now!
erik,
Good to know you are so up-to-date on the important things in life... ie chocolate [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img] Now if only *I* wasn't allergic to chocolate...
I love the pics, btw.
Has anyone tried the Coffee Crisp Latte? I just saw it for the first time the other day in the variety store (I avoid looking at chocolate bars unless I want to read a label) and it just sounded heavenly. At any rate, as posted in this thread, it is PA safe.
I got one (I have really toned down my chocolate eating, no particular reason) and oh, my soul, it was heavenly.
White chocolate covering and the coffee crisp inside was lighter than a regular Coffee Crisp, but just so heavenly.
I guess very much like a Latte coffee.
I highly recommend it! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/biggrin.gif[/img]
Now, of course to keep avoiding it when I go into the store. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/wink.gif[/img]
