Peanut Allergy Safe Easter Ideas for Parents!

Posted: 06 Apr 2012 12:21 PM PDT

Easter is only days away, so here is a roundup of peanut allergy and nut allergy safe links from past blog posts.

Looking for last-minute Easter basket ideas? Click this link for some of my favorites.
Confession time: I wanted to share my egg-shaped SunButter cups with you all, but while the taste was amazing, my SunButter eggs would not come out of my "deviled egg dish" without breaking. Lesson learned: you need paper liners to make SunButter cups! I am not even including the picture of this disaster, as it looks unappetizing (though my kids are digging each SunButter cup egg out of the dish with a spoon and eating them with glee!)

For those of you who like and can have SunButter, the SunButter company web site has some yummy recipes like this one for SunButter Cup pie. The recipe calls for vanilla pudding mix and a chocolate Oreo crust along with semi-sweet chocolate. Check the labels, but I have used Jell-O brand pudding, and the Oreo pie crust in the past. I believe Hershey makes a chocolate pie
crust, too. Again, check them for nut allergy warnings. For semi-sweet chocolate, I use Enjoy Life Foods chocolate chips or Hershey brand semi-sweet chocolate chips. Baker's brand semi-sweet chocolate is also good. Note: for any product, always read the label and/or call the company if you need more information. Labels do change, so be an informed consumer.

Here is a really simple SunButter recipe for SunButter fudge. You can make this dairy-free if you use Earth Balance as they do in the recipe. Are you serving or attending a family brunch at a family home on Easter? Here is my recipe for old-fashioned sour cream coffee cake--I skip the traditional nut topping for a streusel that's nut-free. This one is a big hit with everyone and it's pretty easy to make.

And speaking of family homes, it's not always easy to navigate holiday parties. Here is a post that talks about how to safely enjoy holiday parties with food allergies.

For those of you celebrating, I wish everyone a safe and happy Easter weekend.
