We also have a guide to Dairy-Free Cadbury Creme Egg Alternatives. But what would that basket of goodies be without some colorful candy and other fun sweets? This collection of treats goes beyond chocolate bunnies, and focuses on dairy-free Easter candy that can all be found at grocers, drugstores, or specialty shops throughout the U.S.

If you want bunnies, jelly beans, and spring colors, look no further than this list of dairy-free, natural and organic candies.

Galerie Jelly Bean Eggs

These plastic Easter eggs house jelly beans or jelly beans and sitckers, and carry the company’s “allergen safe” seal. That means they’re made in a factory that does not handle milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, or wheat. They also have cute Easter candy dispensers (bunnies and llamas) with dairy-free candy, but the candy for those doesn’t seem to have their “allergen safe” seal, as a heads up!
