I'm not talking about avoiding candy bars with razors in them from the creepy guy down the street. For my youngest daughter, avoiding flour, eggs and milk—the ingredients in any halfway decent treat—is imperative to avoid having a wicked, bloody rash all over.
But fortunately, a few months back, I just happened to write an article about a bakery that makes wicked-good treats that suit people with the most common allergies—eggs, dairy, wheat and nuts. (They were inspired by their son, who had much more severe allergies than my daughter.) At Divvies.com, they offer allergy-safe candies, cookies, popcorn, cupcakes and other treats—and I have to say, the dairy-free chocolate is pretty darn close to the original (just a tiny bit grainier in texture). I'm planning to stock up on a big five-pound bag of chocolate chips—and a few fabulous candies—to help my daughter deal with her food allergy.
Want to try a little (or a lot) of their delectable caramel popcorn? Leave a comment here, and I'll choose someone at random to win a big old tub of the goodies on October 22nd.
