They have Milkless Chocolate Bars, Truffles or Holiday Chocolates for every occasion. But we can’t forget the specialty line of No Whey Chocolate Candy. Whether your craving Peanut Butter Cups, M&Ms, or candy bars like a Milky Way, the busy chocolatier at No Whey Foods has a top allergen-free alternative.
Tasting Notes for No Whey Chocolate Candy
We quickly latched on to the mini PeaNot Butter Cups and later enjoyed a fun sampling of each No Whey chocolate candy copycat.
PeaNot Butter Cups
When we discovered that peanut butter was the EoE trigger for my niece, she was devastated. She didn’t care much about the spread, but no peanut butter cups? That just wasn’t happening. I took a chance, and ordered a stocking full of PeaNot Butter Cups for her for Christmas, and it paid off, big time. She LOVED them. So much that they disappeared before Tony and I could trial them.
On the next order, I pulled a bag aside for us to review. We agreed, they are so, so good! The middles are sweet, creamy, and very peanutty, despite being made with sunflower seed butter. The outer shell is a wonderfully sweet milk chocolate for child-like indulgence.
Ingredients: vegan sugar, cocoa butter, unsweetened chocolate, roasted sunflower seed, rice syrup powder, sunflower lecithin (an emulsifier), vegetable oil (mono and diglycerides), salt, natural vanilla, natural flavor.
Nutrition (per 40-gram package): 230 calories, 17g fat, 29g carbs, 10g sugars (includes 10g added sugars), 5g protein.*
No No’s Chocolate Candies
These have a fun, rustic, handmade charm with a taste that really delivers. The round shape, crunchy candy shells and almost malted milk flavor remind me a little of Sixlets, rather than M&Ms. Fortunately for me, I was always a big Sixlets fan. But M&M fanatics should be forewarned that these aren’t identical.

No Whey! Candy Bars
The nougat filling in this No Whey Chocolate Candy Bar is more chewy than soft and fluffy. It’s like a cross between “real” egg-based nougat and Charleston chew, without being too chewy. As for the flavor, it provides a delicious, not-too-sweet, melt-in-your-mouth experience. The caramel layer is thin, but it compensates with richness. Overall, this bar is a unique but sugary sweet hit!

Sweet savior for peanut allergies
Our little team of tasters gave each variety a thumbs up. But the high rating is mainly geared toward the Mini PeaNot Cups, a favorite savior for a food allergic teen who missed peanut butter cups, and the No No’s, from this former Sixlet fan. The latter are far more “rugged” than M&Ms and have more of a malted flavor, which I adored. The No Whey! Bars aren’t Milky Way copycats, but they are sweet treats in their own right.

I friggin’ love your reviews! You always showcase products I have never seen or heard before!
Glad you enjoy GiGi!
Oh my goodness! I love all the new “safer” products coming out there.
I’ve been wanting to try their No No’s–as our typical chocolate company, Enjoy Life, doesn’t have anything with a hard shell. I really want to make cookies with them! If only they were easier to get a hold of!
They’re fun and “rustic”. Definitely not M&Ms but I loved them & they fill a fun candy void 🙂
Look at that bag of goodies! There are so many chocolates on my list to try that I can’t find. I’m loving all the new options coming out though.
These are some of the very few allergy-friendly products that I purchase on the internet. I love adding chopped no no’s to baked goods!
Those coco candies are right up my ally! Must try them!
Santa’s bag of vegan treats looks so cute. I love the idea of these as a gift or even stocking stuffer!
Oh my! I would love to try those No Peanot cups!! They looks scrumptious.
They are so good Chrystal – and I can eat peanut butter!
