Simply amazing.  Probably too sweet for some. Found at a Super Target at the front with the special seasonal food and at a regular Target on an endcap in the grocery area.







Made in Canada!

DD hasn't gotten her braces yet, so this will likely be the last Halloween she can have the verboten candy.

If only Jr Mints were OK for egg allergy.

My dd totally cheats on the braces rules now, after 2 years in them.  But she was very good for a long time.  I do not approve of th echeating, but at 14, its her mouth and I recite all toe consequences each time.  FWIW, she has not broken any braces on candy.  I worry about all the sugar, though.

That said, Junior mints are good for braces, well, easy to eat.  I ordered dd some suncups as well.  She can manage skittles as they are small and do not actually get into her brackets the way she chews them.  But certainly are against the rules.

Halloween with a peanut allergy AND braces is going to suck. At least she's getting really old and should just be able to handle a stash of chocolate and mints.

Bought assorted package with junior mints, tootsie rolls, dots and charleston chews.  Was at Whole Paycheck earlier in the day and they finally had Fancypants halloween cookies so I bought a ghost, a witch and a cat.

I have found haloween sized rolos this year.  Dd likes those.  I have not seen Junior mints yet, but usually get some of those. 

Will have to look for sixlets!  Dd will be glad to know those are ok again.

She can do Rolos and the regular size plain Hershey bars (but not the Halloween size ones). The Sixlets are safe and have the nice peanut-free symbol on them.

Maeve, can your dd do Rolos?  And plain Hershey bars?

We have a few bags of the Jelly Belly Candy corn at our TJMaxx.  We also have some candy corn from Peanut Free Planet, Blueberry Hill Farm?  we no longer have to avoid egg in things like that.

I had thought Sixlets changed manufacturers some years ago and were no longer safe?  I had crossed them off our list.  I never checked back again, and it was ages ago.  So, I presume they are safe again?  I will have to check.

The candy corn Oreo's. Wow.  We love them.  It's like eating the old-fashioned frosting.

Sixlets are safe for PA, TNA, and egg allergy. It's the only chocolate candy for Halloween for my DD.

They are also gluten free.

And the candy decor that I posted above fall into that category as well per their FB page!

That's great. We don't deal with wheat allergy or gluten sensitivity/celiac issues, so I don't read the label looking for that. However, that's good news and something I can share with family members who do have celiac/gluten intolerance.

Sixlets? I was looking at their website and didn't see any info about allergen info. Are they safe for PA/TNA?

Sixlets - and this probably needs to be started in a safe baking folder but I am tucking it in here now...

Walmart has decorator candies in the cake mix aisle that are made by Sixlets.  Lots of pearly pretty colors similar to the silver balls whose name I cannot remember...

I have not investigated and will do so and move this tomorrow.  But the Sixlets thing, ach I have been meaning to locate/post.

I've found big packages of Sixlets at Target.  I've picked up Tootsie Rolls, Dots, Twizzlers, Starburst.  There are a couple of others that I've picked up but I'm drawing a blank right now.
