Review Vermont Nut Free Chocolates - Fearless Food Allergy Mom

Review of Vermont Nut Free Chocolates

One of the things I love about being involved in the food allergy community is meeting other people fighting the fight! I have crossed paths with Mark from Vermont Nut Free Chocolates at several events over the years. I love that he makes chocolates free of peanuts and tree nuts! Unfortunately with my son’s multiple food allergies and my many sensitivities, we were not able to sample their products.  But my son has recently outgrown his egg and milk allergies (or so it seems – he eats lots of cheese and dairy products but I have yet to give him...

Chocolate Coconut Haystacks - Fearless Food Allergy Mom

Chocolate Coconut Haystacks, or, The Best Stuff Ever

Toasted coconut + chocolate = heaven, in my book. When I was a kid and we went those chocolate shops in the mall – you know, the ones where you could buy individual confections – I would always choose the chocolate coconut haystacks. They were so ridiculously good! Anyway, this is crazy yummy stuff. I make these all the time, and people always ask for the recipe. These chocolate coconut haystacks look so fancy but couldn’t be simpler to make. Shh, don’t tell anyone! I also give these as gifts, especially around the holidays. Wrap them in some pretty cellophane bags...

Dairy Free Chocolate Truffles!

These insanely delicious dairy free chocolate truffles are also soy free, gluten free, nut free and vegan. You’d never guess they’re allergy friendly! This was one of my favorite recipes to create, and they are so simple to make. All you need is coconut cream and allergy friendly chocolate, plus whatever you want to roll these babies in. Do yourself a favor and use a small cookie scoop with a squeeze handle for easy release. It’s not necessary, but definitely very helpful. I use Trader Joe’s canned “Coconut Cream” for this, but you can use regular full-fat canned coconut milk. Just...

Fearless Food Allergy Mom review of Pascha soy free chocolate

Review of Pascha Soy Free Chocolate – Dairy Free, Top 8 Allergen Free

I’m in the middle of writing a post on soy free chocolate, but just tried a new brand and had to write about it immediately! I’ve heard about Pascha Organic Dark Chocolate bars but never saw them at the store until today. Pascha chocolate bars are vegan and free from peanuts, nuts, dairy, soy, eggs, wheat and gluten. The products also do not contain any GMOs, and are Fair Trade Certified to boot! The bar I tried is called 55% Cacao with Goldenberries. Pascha only makes dark chocolates which range from 55% to 85% chocolate cacao. A higher percentage of cacao...

Fearless Food Allergy Mom - Allergy Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Allergy Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

I love this recipe because it doesn’t involve a lot of flours or too many steps. My boys love it because it tastes great! Like a chocolate chip cookie in bar form. It’s easy because you don’t have to scoop out the dough to make cookies – just plop into a pan, flatten it out and bake. Although some of my recipes call for a few different gluten free flours to get the right taste and texture, this recipe uses only brown rice flour but it works perfectly. These allergy free chocolate chip cookie bars are gluten free, dairy free,...
