An A-Z of Easter Egg Hunt Locations
Aldi have a range of dark chocolate which has no milk but carries a may contain milk warning. My boys are ok with this chocolate but be wary of anything that ‘may contain’ milk. They have a lovely dark chocolate Choceur bunny, which is very difficult to find in Irish stores apparently but keep looking. The packaging is very similar to the milk chocolate ones so it makes them hard to spot. I believe they are widely available in the UK Aldi stores. They also have dairy free marshmallow bunnies, and Moser Roth dark chocolate mini eggs.
The Health Store will have their range in stock in the next two weeks. It will definitely include the Choices range. I will update as soon as possible.
Holland and Barrett The Choices Bunnies white chocolate and milk chocolate are available to order on their website. I’m sure they will be available in store also.
Magic Mayan Raw Chocolate have lovely chocolate bunny lollipops in caramel and strawberry flavours. You can order on their website.
Marks and Spencers have their own brand dairy free eggs in stock.
Sainsburys are stocking Moo Free original eggs, Choices Caramel Egg with 6 caramel sweets, Choices Milk Chocolate Egg with discs, Choices white chocolate egg, Choices bunnies and the Kinnerton dark chocolate egg.
Sam’s Pantry has the Choices Milk Chocolate Egg with discs, the Milk Chocolate egg with Caramel Choc sweets and the bunnies available. They can be ordered online.
Tesco Ireland. Tesco have advised me that they have the following eggs available to order, but it will depend on the individual store whether they stock them or not.
So if you can’t find them in your local store ask them to order them. Tesco Extra Gorey has the Choices Milk Chocolate Egg with 6 chocolate discs and the Kinnerton dark choc egg in stock at the moment.

I plan to update this over the next few weeks as more stores get in their Easter stock. If you would like to let me know if you find any dairy free eggs please do so here or on facebook, google+ or @dairyfreekids on twitter.
Just wondering for research purposes did you have to sample all these eggs? :) Very informative post.
Haha yes Tric that would be a right job alright. :) unfortunately no I didn’t, I’ve just been doing my weirdo taking photos I’m supermarkets again :) I do taste some when the boys get them though. The choices and moo free lovely. I haven’t tasted the others yet.
Very disappointed to discover Dunnes stores where I do all my shopping is not stocking Dairy free easter eggs .Can you imagine the disappointment on my 8 year old childs face as she searched the shelves and couldnt find one egg that she could eat because of a life threatening milk allergy. Life is tough enough without discovering that through all the marketing that Easter Eggs now have these chlidren are forgotten about. Will have to switch my Easter shopping to Tescos but havent spotted the eggs in our local one either but they can order them in apparently
Hi Clare, very disappointed here too. We also do our main shop in Dunnes and I was very impressed with their range last year. And yes it would be nice for your child to be able to see herself what’s available and maybe even have a choice of what to pick. :( Tesco told me by email that they could be ordered but my local store just said they aren’t getting any more in. You can order from Sam’s Pantry online if you can’t find locally. Hope you find what you want.
