Allergy Friendly - Dairy Free Easter Eggs (also Gluten Free & Vegan options)

I spent much of my childhood watching my sister makes herself sick on Easter chocolate and my consolation prize was a toy. In recent years dairy free Easter eggs are everywhere so I'm making up for lost time. I've put together a shopping list of allergy friendly Easter treats to guide you where to spend your pennies.

Moo Free - it's great to see so many places stocking Moo Free chocolates, you'll spot them in supermarkets and local stores. This year there are three eggs to chose from - classic "milk" chocolate, Bunnycomb (aka honeycomb toffee) and Orange chocolate. Moo Free products are dairy and gluten free (they operate a milk free factory) and suitable for Vegans.

Cocoa Libre - a limited edition Orange rice milk Easter egg available on their website. Also don't forget the adorable rice milk Easter chicks. Free of gluten, dairy, nuts and wheat, suitable for vegans and coeliacs.

Holland & Barrett - have own branded eggs - Good Life Dairy Free Egg and Good Life No Added Sugar Egg - both suitable for people avoiding dairy, gluten and nuts. Holland & Barrett also stock Moo Free eggs.

Consider It - if you are looking for a Vegan replacement for a creme egg then I recommend Consider It's Dream Egg (I've blogged about them before). Super yummy Belgian chocolate filled with fondant. They are also selling a giant version. 

Supermarkets - You'll find a good selection of Easter eggs in the Free From section of all the major supermarkets. Tesco have their own branded Free From Chocolate Egg ("milk" & white chocolate) also the Tesco Finest Free From Caramel Egg with Truffles and Choices Milk Chocolate Bunny. Sainsbury's have eggs from Choices, Kinnerton, Celtic, Moo Free and own branded. Waitrose stock the Moo Free eggs.

Raw Pie - for those of you who are avoiding the unhealthy stuff then check out the egg selection at Raw Pie. There is the Classic (raw chocolate egg made with cacao nibs filled with organic cranberries & goji berries), The Family Combo (shell comes in two parts - raw chocolate and raw vanilla fudge, filled with fruit & nuts) and the Mini Easter Egg (shell is made with smooth Raw Chocolate and the filling is raw vanilla fudge).
