A small round-up of allergy-friendly Christmas chocolate, originally published several years ago, but just updated for 2021.
As always, double check ingredients and ‘may contain’ warnings before you buy and once you’ve bought.

Great round-up, thanks Alex. FAQ page on the D&D website says their chocolate products are now produced in a soya-free environment. Could they be added to your 14-free list?
Ah, well spotted. Funnily enough I emailed them to ask them about that possibility, but haven’t yet heard back.

Great Blog roundup Alex. But you missed off Creative Nature Gnawbles… although not technically christmas stuff I guess so I’ll let you off. But their choccies are free from the top 14. Also discovered some Xmas stuff at the Artisan Bread Organic company here: https://www.artisanbread-abo.com/dept/christmas-food_d0142.htm although actually these are cakes and mince pies.. so again not chocolate. I’ll just leave this here. I clearly just got excited and didn’t think chocolate when I wrote this. BUT my local Coop also has some great freefrom chocolates and xmas offerings.
