If you have a peanut or tree nut allergy and a sweet tooth that knows no boundaries, you particularly know the struggle that is finding nut-free candy — why do so many chocolate bars contain almonds or peanuts? You know better than anyone that when that sugar craving hits, you can't just reach for the first piece of candy you see: the consequences of consuming or coming into contact with nuts can be downright scary and life-threatening, and no candy is worth that risk!

So to save you the trouble of spending hours researching what candy offers no danger (and because we know you probably were just never going to do that), we've put together this list of candies that deliver the sugar kick you need without the potential allergy scare. Stock up!
