Vermont Nut Free Chocolates — Restaurant in Colchester

At two years old I was diagnosed with a severe peanut allergy and this meant I could no longer eat most candy - it was far too risky back in the days before mandatory food allergy labeling. My mom was devastated by the impact this had on me as a little kid and she really did everything she absolutely could to make things better for me. She would spend hours researching my allergy and different foods that were safe for me to eat so that I wouldn't feel excluded. This was how she discovered Vermont Nut Free Chocolate, the only chocolate brand that was safe for me and others with peanut allergies to eat at the time.

Vermont Nut Free made so many Easters and other holidays special for me growing up. I looked forward to getting an Easter basket full of Vermont Nut Free every year and not having to worry about having an allergic reaction. Just being able to eat chocolate like other kids is something everyone else probably took for granted.

I'm now 24 years old and have been eating Vermont Nut Free Chocolate for over 20 years. I still have a peanut allergy and although food allergy labelling has improved dramatically in recent years, I will always be loyal to Vermont Nut Free. The store-bought chocolate from other companies doesn't taste anywhere near as good anyway - I wasn't missing much!

This company will always hold a special place in my heart for really making my childhood so much better and being the only company that seemed to understand or even care about what it's like to not be able to eat chocolate as a kid. I still love sharing it with my Mom to this day and I'm so happy that she discovered them for me. Thank you so much Vermont Nut Free - you've been here for me from when I was two years old and for basically almost my entire life. I will be a...

We have a new son-in-law who is highly allergic to tree nuts/peanuts. As a result it is impossible for him to enjoy almost any store bought candies. With him being new to the family it was important that we make him feel included in the Christmas Stocking Treats Tradition. Vermont Nut-Free Chocolates came to our rescue. He thoroughly enjoyed each selection we purchased last year.

This year we ordered even more items. We received an email alert from both USPS and Vermont Chocolates that my package had arrived but when we went to the door there wasn't a package. We contacted our neighbors and none of them had it. So we emailed both USPS and Vermont Chocolates about the problem (both closed for the evening).

Early the next morning we received an email from Vermont Chocolates informing us that not only had they already created a replacement pkg but they would rush shipping so it would arrive in 3 days. We were extrememly thankful but told them we needed the pkg before we left for out of town (2 days) or we couldn't use it. So Vermont Chocolates switched their shipping service and paid for 2-day rush delivery. All of this at $0 cost to us. Most companies would have just just apologized or at best, refunded me my purchase cost. But I was desperate for the nut free chocolates and Vermont Chocolates didn't disappoint.

I cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond to correct an issue that they didn't cause. And keep in mind, this was the busiest week for Christmas shoppers yet they immediately and thoroughly...

This company is a total life changer! I've been diagnosed with severe tree nut allergies (anaphylaxis) since I was a child. For over 10 years I've had to completely eliminate chocolate and desserts from my diet due to potential cross contamination risks. Pretty much the closest I could get to chocolate was tootsie rolls. They're good but not really satisfying when craving chocolate. Then I found out about "Vermont Nut Free Chocolate " from a local nut -free Cafe who carried their products. (Metropolitan Cafe in Cleveland, Ohio). "Vermont Tree Nut Free Chocolate " has some seriously high quality products! The chocolate is so rich and decadent. I order online and always get coupons via email. I suggest the milk chocolate covered pretzels. So far they are my #1 favorite. Sun Blossoms are good too. They're like a Reeses cup but filled with sunflower butter instead of peanut butter . The assorted truffles are great for Valentines Day. Also just tried "Fancy pants chocolate chip cookies " and now am addicted. They're crunchy with the perfect combination of buttery cookie to sweet chocolate. I literally tell anyone and everyone who has a peanut/tree-nut allergy about this place and so far anyone who's tried them loves...
