ARGH!!!

I did this the other day. There was not a SINGLE chocolate bunny without eggs. Every one of them! I finally found one lame little bunny without eggs, and now I am worried he's mislabeled!

Sorry you're having the same problem. Good luck. If you find one, let me know! The one I have I got from Target. He's wearing a back pack. I think he's about 6 inches high. I wanted the super cool foot tall bunny, but he had eggs.

Have you guys thought of going to a place like Michael's to buy a mold for an Easter bunny? It would be a lot easier to google chocolate recipes without eggs or nuts then find them in the store.

It's not the chocolate, it's the decorations on them. They all have egg in the decoration.
I could buy him a fancy chocolate bunny with no eggs. But I wanted the nasty cheap hollow tastes like wax bunnies that I loved as a kid :)

phew! i'm just so glad that our older daughter doesn't have nut or egg allergies... i don't know what we'd do...

to followup up on amanda's comment, you could probably also google some recipes for egg-free decorations. :shrug-shoulders:

I couldn't find any and I looked at every one Target had! We are just doing jelly beans and little pieces of candy. I wanted the chocolate bunny but oh well!

Hollow milk chocolate
3.5 oz

Ingredients-
Milk Chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk, chocolate emulsifiers [soy lecithin and PGPR] and vanilla). Decorating coatings contain sugar, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (soybean, cottonseed, palm, shea, illepe, and/or cocoa butter), why, skim milk, whole milk, soy lecithin (an emulsifier), natural and aritificial flavor, and US certified colors (FD&C blue #1, blue #2, red #40, yellow #5 and yellow #6 lakes, and red #3). Product may contain nuts.

So... if you're dealing with a nut allergy, this one might not work (but almost everything these days says "may contain" or "processed on shared equipment") but this one is (according to the label) egg free. I've yet to see it on the recall list, either.

Why not keep candy out of everyones Easter Basket? My kids get no candy in their baskets.

Candy + Easter do not have to go together. It's healthier to avoid it anyways.

Because once a year it doesn't hurt a kid to get a two foot tall chocolate rabbit. It also teaches good moral reasoning. Should I prolong his life by starting with his feet, or should I end his suffering by chomping off his head?

It *can* hurt food allergic kids, which is why we keep candy out of holidays.

Oh I totally agree it can hurt kids with food allergies. Which is why I was so sad when I couldn't find one that had no eggs. I briefly (.005 seconds) wondered if I could removed the decorations and carve holes where they had been, but realized that I couldn't. Not only would it not be safe, what kid wants to get a Stephen King easter rabbit?
But completely eliminating the candy from all children is no more or less safe than feeding all the children safe candy.
Charlie does sometimes eat things that are processed on shared equipment. I wish he didn't, but this is something I have argued with my partner about ad nauseum. She doesn't take his allergies seriously, I do. So far, he's not had a serious reaction.

:ROTFLMAO:


This is one of those areas where there is no right or wrong. What's right for my family isn't for yours, I was just presenting another option to choose from.

We can't have peanuts either:thumbsdown: We thought about not giving candy, but decided to give them a little each. They rarely get candy at all because Michael has very thin enamel on his teeth and lots of crevices so he's more prone to cavities. That combined with Isaiah's allergies mean not a lot of candy and snacks come into our house! A few times a year I guess is ok though.

I've had no luck finding an egg-free and peanut-free chocolate bunny. I usually fall back on plain Hershey's kisses in Easter pastel wrappings, and some new story books for Easter baskets. I also found some Cadbury caramel filled chocolate eggs (yum) that don't contain eggs or peanuts and don't have shared equipment warnings on the label.

For easter, my kids are getting some good stuff...

Ds2, almost, but not quite 1, is getting some Gerber fruit snacks, a new sippy cup, some Girl Scout shortbread cookies, a tether ball, some little people, and an outfit.

Ds1, 5 yrs, is getting 2 Mack's from the movie Cars (one is a transporter, the other opens to allow Lightning inside), a Chick Hicks in an egg, and a Playmobil Barbarian set... Food wise, he'll get some Jelly Belly's and a huge easter bunny. I'd prefer to keep candy out of the equation, but my dh has to buy something, apparently.

I can't imagine having to be that nit-picky about the allergies. I'm sorry, ya'll.

egg free or not, those bolded items would be enough to keep it away from this house.. :thumbsdown: damn, why does it have to be so hard to find good old fashioned candy??!! :mad:
