When my son was first diagnosed with his peanut allergy and tree nut allergy, my head felt like it was going to explode — as I began thinking about all of the things he may miss out on: treats at school, casual trips to the candy store, trick-or-treating on Halloween, Easter egg hunt goodies, Valentine’s Day sweets, classic movie theater candies, and on and on and on.

Luckily, with a bit (read: a lot) of research, I discovered there are actually quite a few tree nut and peanut free chocolate and candy options for him! I’ve also found that it’s crucial that I have some of these safe treats on hand at all times, in case we’re faced with “treat situations” when we’re out and about. I call them “treat situations,” because you just never know when an ice cream truck is going to pull up, or something similar.

If you’ve discovered any other nut free chocolate or nut free candy options out there, please let me know. I’m always updating these lists.

Note: Please use these lists as a guide, but do your own research to make sure the products listed are 100% safe for your family and your situation. Where available, I included links to brand allergen information pages, for your easy, up-to-date reference. Check and recheck and recheck, as manufacturing processes change constantly. Also, although peanuts are technically a legume and not a nut, I often use the term “nut free” to mean both peanut free and tree nut free.

DOVE Chocolate – UPDATE (March, 2022): A reader wrote in about an update to this listing and I confirmed with DOVE parent company, Mars Wrigley North America, that DOVE no longer produces any of its products in an entirely nut-free facility. “Our products are manufactured in a shared facility, we utilize a stringent allergen management program during the manufacture of our products. Any allergen-containing products are followed up with specific cleaning procedures to prevent cross-contamination. With these procedures in place, we make every attempt to eliminate cross-contamination.We recommend that our consumers with sensitivities, no matter how minor, not consume any product where the source of the sensitivity is listed in the ‘Contains‘ or ‘May Contain‘ statement.'” I’m leaving the old info below for reference.

OLD INFO: DOVE offers several peanut and tree nut free products that are manufactured in a facility that does not handle peanuts or tree nuts (click for full list). Because other DOVE Chocolate varieties are produced at facilities with peanuts and/or tree nuts present, it is important to always read the label for accurate allergy information (Allergen Information).

US bar only), along with our milk chocolate HERSHEY’S KISSES are made on lines that do not manufacture peanut or tree-nut items and are made in plants that do not process peanuts.

    Dove info has changed. They no longer have a peanut/treenut free facility. They say that they will label for May Contains, but no everyone is comfortable with this.

I am not a doctor. Or an allergist. So please always follow your doctor’s/allergist’s orders first, and heed their advice. Also, please note that although I often list products and brands that work for my family, please always read labels, call companies and recheck the products/brands, since manufacturing processes are constantly changing.
