Years ago, Dole bought out the dairy-free, gluten-free snack company known as Mrs. May’s. They kept the core products, but renamed the brand Dole Snack Bites. They currently have three product lines: Indulgent (chocolate-covered), Clusters, and Sticks. The chocolate they use contains milk, so unfortunately, the Indulgent line is out. But the varieties below are dairy-free by ingredients.
Dole Snack Bites come in Dairy-Free Clusters and Sticks
There are now many copycat “bites” on the market. Target even has their own line. But Dole still makes these nutty clusters and sticks.
