Cost Plus World Market-disappointing visit

[YouKnowWho]

I have to say that as we are in the uk that we have a wider choice of chocolate and candy type treats to eat . Certainly in comparasion to USA , spent ages searching for something safe for allergic son. He did express some pity for the nut allergic children of america who had little safe chocolate choices.

am hoping we are wrong on this one though, or that things have improved!

Unfortunately no and as like others have noted they are making it harder to buy the UK candies because of the stupid relabeling.  I have been on the search for Smarties (and refuse to pay the specialty shop prices) but my usual sources have dried up.  Guess I have to make the run to the UK grocery store on a Saturday when hitting the farmer's market.

DS2 is addicted to Aero Bars but was interested in trying the Mars Bars but stupid relabeling doesn't allow me to read ingredients.  Are they safe for nut allergies?

The Canadian Mars bars all have peanut-free logos on them so you can tell that they are safe for nut allergies (fyi- they do contain egg)

Thank you CandyGuru.  Unfortunately I didn't see the PF symbol so I peeled up the stupid relabel.  It contains nuts if it is from the UK.

yes, all the Canadian ones have that peanut-free logo, so if there is no logo, it's not from Canada

yes, unfortunately, the UK Mars bars may contain tree nuts

if you ever have friends/co-workers visiting Canada, you should ask them to pick up some Mars bars for you
