Easter egg alternatives?

[noitsachicken]

Any suggestions for either non chocolate Easter eggs or ones that are free from dairy, soya and nuts?
My nephew is allergic, but we don't want him to miss out!

Thanks

Thanks.
However I went to the manufacturers website and it says 'may contain traces of soya'
Thought we were on to a winner there.

moo free say "may contain traces of hazelnut and soya" so it depends how strictly they adhere to the 'may contain' advice

Vegan store has one by palmil and its nut and dairy free. I can't see soya might be ok.

Egg

I would maybe avoid chocolate and go for sweets instead. Haribo do easter themed sweets

Just thought kinnerton eggs will be fine ive bought them for the dc. They're available in supermarkets.

Kinnerton contain soya, I didn't realise.

How about an easter hamper some lovely things in John Lewis. Depending on his age you could put some lovely things in. :)

noitsachicken, have you checked if nephew can handle soy lecithin. it's so processed that there's basically no protein in it, and something like 80 or 90% of soy allergic kids can handle it without problem. Don't quote me on the stats (it's my vague memory of what the doc told me), but certainly my son is absolutely fine, as are a lot of other parents. Be careful of the difference between some chocolates which contain soy in other ways though (a couple of the dairy free types do).

Thanks everyone.
That's useful to know mayfair I will ask SIL.

How old is nephew?

I often give a book and cuddly bunny or chick. Or an easter themed craft kit

You could get a plastic/tin egg shape and fill with sweets/marshmallows.

Lots of Easter craft kits around too.

You could buy dairy and soya free chocolate and make your own if you have time?

You can buy Easter egg moulds on eBay. I did this a couple of years ago for a friend, dairy free chocolate, melt it, scoop it into the mould, let it set and repeat a few times to give a good thickness to it, then melt the edges together to join them up - can also put maybe Haribo in the middle for when he cracks it open? Then ice his name on the outside and wrap in cellophane.
Ta-da!

It does take a bit of time and effort but makes a lovely easter present!

He is three.
I have tried making them before and they were terrible!
Thanks for the ideas.

Also just finding chocolate suitible is difficult.
I think getting him a non chocolate alternative is the best idea, but my mum really wants him to have an egg so he is not missing out.

D&D easter egg

I've had a good look and I think it's fine it has sunflower lecithin. No soya, no dairy and no nuts.

It's a bit pricey though but most allergen friendly things are. I hope you find him his egg.

Way more choice on the D&D website far more suitable for a little boy

Thank you.
On the main website however it says may contain traces of a Soya.
Don't think we are going to find one

You should find out how strictly they adhere to 'May contain' warnings as they are often a minimal cross contamination risk

Booja-Booja chocolate (and I believe ice cream) is dairy, soya and gluten free. Tad expensive but they do mini boxes as well as the larger selections. taste great!

make one...easy. coconut or cocoa butter melted...cocoa powder...maple syrup or honey. vanilla...orange...some flavour and you are done!

Is it really that simple shewolf? Could you point me towards a recipe please?

They are quite cautious, and won't give him anything which says 'may contain' they may relax on this as he gets older.

Booja Booja look good, but may contain nuts :-(

Booja-booja are amazing, beautiful, soya-free and vegan Easter eggs. A little up-market for a three year old, but it's nice to encourage your nephew to have good taste.

Some of them do have nuts, but I don't know about the others.
