Favorite Day Cookie Kits

Some, but not all, of the Favorite Day Easter Cookie Kits are made without milk. We love these for fun Easter day projects that you can put in baskets (they’re shelf stable!). At last check, the Tie Dye Easter Egg Sugar Cookie Kit, Easter Bunny House Cookie Kit, Easter Chicken Coop House with Chicks Cookie Kit, and Easter Pre-Built Bunny House Kit were all made without milk, nuts, or peanuts. And all but the Tie Dye one are egg-free and vegan-friendly.

Black Forest Organic Easter Candies

Black Forest has a big range of Easter candies, but you might not see them on their website. However, they are readily available online and via major stores like Walmart. Keep your eyes open for their Spring Mix or Juicy Bunnies. This brand isn’t strictly vegan, because they do use gelatin and beeswax in their candies.

Surf Sweets Organic Jelly Beans

Surf Sweets is now produced by Wholesome, the brand noted above. But they have retained their own candy style, and are reportedly still made in a facility free of the top 10 allergens. For Easter they have Spring Jelly Beans that come in bags of mini packages. And each serving contains 100% of the daily value for Vitamin C.

Peeps

Yes, traditional Peeps, not chocolate-covered, are made without milk and other top allergens. This year, they’re also offering limited edition Peep Gummies, Peep Decorating Kits and Easter Lollipop Rings (which may be vegan-friendly). Many varieties of classic Peeps have a “may contain milk” just because the chocolate-covered varieties are made in the same factory. All Peeps and Peep Gummies are non-vegan, as they do contain gelatin, but the Lollipop Rings do not.

Important Notes

Be Allergen Aware: If your special diet needs are particular, please read this article carefully and inquire with the manufacturer prior to purchasing. I have included notes on what “free-from” needs these companies cater to (including soy-free, gluten-free, and nut-free!). However, products, ingredients and processes may change at any time and cross-contamination can be a risk in manufacturing. Always double check with the manufacturer before purchasing or consuming any food whenever there is a food allergy concern.
