    By Alisa Fleming on March 27, 2026 In The News, News

    Updated for 2026! You’ve probably seen my big list of Dairy-free Chocolate Bunnies for various tastes and diets, including vegans and food allergic consumers. 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.

    The Best Dairy-Free Easter Candy & Treats at the Store! With vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-friendly options.

    The Best Dairy-Free Easter Candy You Can Buy at the Store

    If you want bunnies, jelly beans, and spring colors, look no further than this list of dairy-free, natural and organic candies. All of the following are also vegan, unless otherwise noted.

    Allergen Notes: All items listed below were dairy-free by ingredients at the time of our review, but ingredients are subject to change at any time. Most are also gluten-free by ingredients, but check fo verifications. And all products are at some degree of risk for allergen cross contamination.

      Being a Grandma to a young grandchild who is dairy free, I appreciate your updated list. I wanted to do an egg hunt with all of my Grandchildren without singling out any specific eggs of color or type. This list gives me options for all of my grandchildren in the same egg hunt. It saved me a lot of time doing all this research on my own. Thank you.

      Dairy free is so important now in time… more people including myself have had issues with dairy my whole life. My body is 100% more healthy now that I’m dairy-free. Nice list to choose from here.

        I clarified to avoid any misunderstanding. As noted, they have both vegan and non-vegan selections. Still a lot to choose from among their gummies, which are sold by most of the vegan stores. Enjoy!
