My wife and I 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 addressed our issue. read more

They provide Excellent service and Absolutely Delicious chocolates!! I'm definitely a forever customer!

My mom ordered this as a gift for my boyfriend, who has a severe peanut allergy, way back in early November to give to him as a Christmas gift. He'd never had assorted chocolates before, as all of the ones you can get at the drug store always have nut contamination issues, and we were so excited to find this brand. Having eaten years of subpar Russell Stoever's myself, I wasn't expecting much from a box of assorted chocolates but having little bites now of the ones my boyfriend tries, I am blown away by the quality of Vermont Nut-Free Chocolates. The truffles have such scrumptious and complex flavor profiles and the caramel chocolate we just had was so incredibly rich-tasting. Overall, I'm so impressed with this brand and it's so nice not to worry. read more

Vermont Nut Free Chocolates - Assorted chocolates -- completely delicious. - Candy Stores Near Me - Colchester, Vermont

I cannot say enough good things about this company. I've had a severe nut allergy my entire life and as a result most chocolate is off limits which hurts my soul. This brand is so amazing. I'm thrilled to be able to eat and try stuff without worry. My family always gifts it to me every Christmas and I always have a stash on me! I couldn't be happier. read more

I LOVE this company! My fiancé has a deadly peanut and tree but allergy and he has never been able to have a normal Halloween and eat the candy, so I wanted to give him that option! I found this company online and I was a little skeptical if it would be good/travel well since I live in California but I was pleasantly surprised! The candy came all unmelted (I purchased the cooling box for $5) and it tasted just like the real thing! The granola bar is exactly like a cliff bar, the "sees candy" taste just like it, & my fiancé loves the Skippers, which taste like M&Ms! Definitely recommend for someone with a peanut/tree nut allergy. The only downfall is it is a bit pricey but it is very worth it to see the smile on someone you loves face who hasn't experienced this before! read more

We have been buying the chocolates here for years, but this year was special and noteworthy of a "5" rating. First, for folk with peanut allergy this was a a great option to ensure our son had holiday candies and treats throughout the year. In fact, now that he is grown and living on the west coast, we take great pleasure in sending the caramel chocolates as a surprise treat. So that brings us to the second point, we get the chocolates not only because they are safe but they are really really good! His cousins all look forward to sharing the "skippers" during the holidays! Last but not least; great customer service. This i year we ordered early to avoid the last minute rush. We realized the weekend before Xmas that we had not received our shipment ( we checked online and saw the order confirmation and the delivery date well past due. So we called, told them we checked the post office, around the office, spots in the garage in the hopes we missed the delivery package - nada. So the good folk at VMF sent a replacement package no charge via overnight! No issues or problems. Wait! There is more!. We found the first package ( thats a story for another day). When I told the VNF folks I got both and charge me, as that was the right thing to do - they did not charge for the shipping of the second. Cool. I will continue to be a loyal customer! read more

Not only is Vermont Nut-Free Chocolate a great option for many with food allergies, the products are really good quality that you would not think their products were subpar because they didn't contain nuts. The name brand chocolates taste oily to me and seem to lack quality chocolate but not Vermont. I often sneak the chocolate pretzels and skippers from allergic family member but I buy extra so no one is without. Great customer service as well!! Just wish they had more vendors in California. Thanks for great products! read more

I purchased online an Advent calendar & Tower of Gifts. It arrived quickly, in great condition. Was so awesome to be able to safely gift this to my friend with nut allergies (who so often goes without). Beyond that - this is GREAT chocolate (there was some serious jelly bean action also in the tower) We are savoring it -- it's gift worthy to ANYone who is a choco-lover. The presentation is also noteworthy. The tower came in sturdy, attractive boxes with festive crinkle paper. This was my first purchase with Vermont Nut Free Chocolates but won't be my last! read more

A great facility with exceptional customer service! They have a great selection from chocolates, trail mix, granola bars and gummies and so much more! I do not have a nut allergy but the quality of the products are amazing! The price is higher than a Hershey car but the quality of the chocolate is so much better! The new location with the renovated retail store makes it much more accessible since it is right off the interstate. The chocolates are even more special after discovering that they are all individually packaged and wrapped! read more

I love their chocolate, and the service is great. I asked them to send me my stuff in an unmarked box if possible, and they did. If you're deathly allergic to nuts like I am, go for this place. You won't regret it. read more

Simply the BEST CHOCOLATE products in the World - delicious and NUT-FREE!!! Staff are always friendly and helpful. Thank You Vermont Nut Free Chocolates. Keep up the Excellent Work! read more

Good place for specialty chocolates - especially if you need nut free (We did not). They apparently do a lot of mail order but also have a shop at the 'factory'. We were in the area and decided to stop by. TIP: DO NOT trust your GPS to find this location. The address will take you to a side street (Island Circle) but the store is really on the east side of Route 2 just North of this side street. It is visible from Rt. 2. Apparently this is a common problem based on our discussion with the women we talked to at the shop. read more

I'm giving a 5 star rating but I do have a suggestion. First, my son has peanut allergies so we are frequent buyers of Vermont Nut Free products. They are excellent and my kids and my wife and I love the stuff. Here's my problem. My favorite are the smurtles. So good... but almost impossible to get the smurtle un-stuck from the wax paper they are boxed in. It takes me 10 minutes to get all the bits of wax paper off it. I'm begging you guys... find a new way to package these. This is not a 1 time issue. Same thing happened on Easter and last Christmas. read more

Their products are incredibly delicious and their customer service is out of this world. I am so thankful for such an outstanding, nut free company to serve my family. We will be customers for life! read more

My son has really bad, call 911 and give him epinephrine stat, peanut and tree nut allergies. Vermont Nut Free gives him and his mom peace of mind. Pricy? Yes. Worth it? Most definitely. read more

I've ordered from Vermont Nut Free Chocolates twice. As someone with a severe peanut allergy, a box of chocolates was always something I was forced to live without. I was so excited to find a company that specialized in creating nut free treats! Recently, I ordered a 24 piece assorted box which costs approximately $50 when the cooling gel pack is included. The chocolates were delicious and in perfect, unmelted condition when they arrived at my humid South Carolina doorstep. I placed my order online, and after you input your billing information, you are given the option to include a message. As this was a gift to be shared between myself and my new fiance, I carefully typed a witty message to be included in my order. To my disappointment, the message wasn't included when I received my order a few days later. I contacted Customer Service via the email listed on the Vermont Nut Free Chocolates website, explaining my situation, providing my order number, and inquiring as to why my message wasn't included. I didn't hear back until 3 days later from Customer Service. The response was that they were sorry, they never received the message on their end, they were glad I enjoyed the chocolates, and please contact them if I had any questions. Not awful customer service by any means, but I was disappointed--I didn't feel satisfied as a customer. I spent quite a bit of money on an order with an important message to be included, and I feel like there should have been some kind of consolation provided: the ability to resend a smaller gift with a message, a coupon code for free shipping to use on future orders, etc. Just something to make me feel like my concern was taken seriously. The chocolates are wonderful, they arrive quickly and in perfect condition, but overall, the customer service in regards to addressing concerns in my case was lacking. If I order from Vermont Nut Free Chocolates in the future, I will be sure to call and place the order over the phone to ensure accuracy. read more

My girlfriend loves truffles but she is severely allergic to tree nuts. Pretty much every truffle place I went to (like See's, Teuscher, and K Chocolatier) was unable to guarantee that their chocolates were safe. So, until now, her usual method was to take a little bite, wait a little while to see if anything happened, then eat the rest. Not the ideal solution, certainly. Traveling together for Christmas and not wanting to risk ending the night with an epi pen sticking in her leg, I took a chance and had a small box of truffles delivered to our hotel. (I ordered by phone so I could choose the assortment myself.) She LOVED them! It was only 6 pieces and, since I can eat whatever I want, I didn't want to deprive her of any of them by trying one myself. But I bought her a bigger box for Valentine's Day, and maybe this time I'll get a taste. All that really matters to me is that she loved them, and that we both have peace of mind knowing they're safe. The only thing that keeps it from a full five stars is the price: With shipping, it's about $30 for a dozen, on par with the finest designer chocolatiers in Beverly Hills. I know the rent in Grand Isle, Vermont isn't on par with Rodeo Drive. And surely it can't be THAT hard to simply not bring nuts into your factory. You just don't order any, and none come. Nuts are expensive. Not having to buy any should mean the chocolate is cheaper! But we're buying a niche product and, because they're the only ones providing it, they can charge whatever the market will bear. I'm certainly willing to pay it! Five stars for the chocolates and for the quick and friendly service! I am a fan. read more

First let me say I've been ordering product from Vermont Nut Free for my business Guess What's Cooking for several years and they have been great. However, on this last order there was a shipping issue. Shipping issues happen so I understand. My issue is how you treated me. I'm disappointed that I was never notified of the shipment being damaged and I've cancelled several of my customers orders due to no product. If I was notified I could have gotten my chocolate elsewhere until my shipment arrived. When I called you offered nothing and told me you left me a message. Hmmm....we all know phones/vm tracks everything and I didn't receive a message and offered to send my call logs. You basically told me I could refuse the shipment or call it back. Thanks for not calling to notify me, thanks for not offering to upgrade my shipping, thanks for not offering to pay for my shipping and thanks for telling me you don't care if I take my business elsewhere and thanks for letting me know you have no customer loyalty whatsoever. Good luck to you in the future. Thank god I would never treat my customers the way you've treated me. read more

Since I have an extreme allergy to all nuts that I have had my entire life, I have been unable to have most sweets and normally just have to stick with only a few types of sweets. But since I have found this company I have been able to have a much larger selection of sweets than I've ever had. I really love all their products that I have tried and can't wait to try more. I only wish that they would expand their company into other states so shipping wouldn't be as much of a hassle. read more

We have been purchasing candy from them for over 16 years! You should have seen my son's face, when he was young, when he realized that he could have ANYTHING in the brochure. He's in college now, and we have had orders shipped to him at OWU. Best place ever. read more

I was so glad to find this web site a few years ago. One of my grandsons has a severe peanut allergy and so ,of course, we have to be very careful where we purchase chocolates from. The chocolates from here are good quality and taste delicious. read more

Listen, I've grown up with a peanut/nut allergy, and I was SO SO SO excited to experience these chocolates. I order about 120 dollars worth for my birthday (a gift from several family members) and they arrived today. I'm disappointed. These boxes are tiny! I would imagine that for 30 bucks a box, they'd be comparable in size to something like Russell Stover, which is about 1/2 the cost of Vermont. But the chocolates are legitmately half the size of what I will call "normal sized" chocolates. Perhaps this could be justified if they were AMAZING chocolates, like Laura Secord or "designer" chocolatier quality. But they just arent. The truffles are not light and fluffy, but rather filled with a fudge like chocolate. The buttercreams are delicious, but tiny and way, way overpriced. I'm disappointed, and feel silly for impulse splurging on this many chocolates. read more

I have a granddaughter that has nut allergies and as I've been on the hunt to find treats for her that are made in a nut free facility, it has been very challenging. At least until I came across Vermont Nut Free Chocolates. I was a little apprehensive as to how good the candies would taste. I ordered several different things, wanting to give her a variety of treats from time-to-time. When they arrived, I had to sample everything first and for my taste buds, everything I ordered was top notch. Needless to say, my granddaughter is in seventh-heaven when I'm allowed :) to give her some treats. The only downside, I wish there was a local store in the Chicago area. read more

I've never actually been to the store, but have been ordering from Vermont Nut Free for years. As someone with nut allergies, let me tell you, it is so nice to be able to sink my teeth into a piece of chocolate that doesn't say "may contain peanuts" on the wrapper! It's a little pricey, but well worth it. The chocolate is so good that I would still want to eat it even if I did not have allergies. The only things I haven't cared for in the years I've been ordering from them are the granola bars and fudge. Everything else has been excellent! I DEFINITELY recommend ordering from them if you have severe peanut and/or tree nut allergies! read more

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE and the caramels and maple fudge are amazing! For over 20 years I've been purchasing candy from this company for my son. He has a severe peanut allergy and it makes him so happy to be able to eat the delectable treats Vermont Nut Free provides. Make sure to try the "skippers".....I LOVE THIS COMPANY! read more

Vermont Nut Free has allowed my peanut/tree nut allergic daughter to enjoy chocolate and treats safely for years now. We love the "Skippers" which are similar to an M&M (which she had never had the option to try) yet don't even compare! They are fantastic, rich, yummy, and great quality chocolate. The chocolate covered pretzels are also superb. These are our go-to's when we order but always try something new or holiday themed also. Even if you do not have a nut allergy you must try the Skippers!! read more

Beware of ordering from Vermont Nut Free Chocolates and spending the extra $25.00 for special shipping. I ordered candy for my grandchildren who live in Arizona. I had to pay an extra $25.00 for two day plus the ice pack since it was coming to a warm climate. When my grandchildren candy never arrived, I tried tracking it with the tracking number supplied. It was shipped via United States Postal service. (which had a 50 minute wait time on the phone). I contacted Vermont Nut Free Chocolates, They tracked it to the local post office that services my grandchildren's home. It had been sitting at the post office for days, no notice sent or dropped off at my grandchildren's home. When I mentioned to Vermont Nut Free Chocolates that I paid the Extra $25.00 for special shipment and they should be the ones to call the Post Office to straighten this out. They said, their hands were tied. I'm very disappointed in this company: Vermont Nut Free Chocolates and would not recommend buying from them. read more

This place is amazing! They have a great selection of chocolates and candy for all the holidays and in between. You can also pretty much customize the boxed chocolates. I am a regular, and the nut free policy is a huge bonus. I order online. Get some truffles! read more

Vermont Nut Free Chocolates are wonderful!
