Food Allergy Files: Candy

Candy and desserts are very high risk foods for people having any kind of nut allergy.  That said, since the Lone Star Girl is not actually allergic to peanuts, we used to be able to find a decent variety of things that were not cross-contaminated by tree nuts.  This is becoming less the case, though, as time goes by.  So many formerly-only-peanut-infested varieties are coming out with almond versions, etc.,  and many of them make the tree-nut kind on the same equipment that is used to make the kind that doesn't actually contain tree nuts, so it is getting harder and harder to find safe candy for candy occasions.  You still can find it in the grocery store - you just can't find many varieties at all.
