I like joking about Necco, but they really are an institution and I admire their longevity.
I didnāt know they made Mary Janes . . . another candy that only surfaces at Halloween.

I see divisive discussions like this around on the internet butā¦ my daughters are coeliac, kind of nasty and fairly immediate effects plus nastier and longer ones, and I mention it before parties, just to warn not to make a big deal of offering stuff because I will be bringing it anyway and Iām blown away by how most people and places want to make sure my children are safe and have food that doesnāt make them sick and are looked after. People bend over backwards all the time for my children. Itās incredible.
In general people are great.
When we go around tomorrow evening they wonāt really be able to eat most of what is given to them, but thatās fine, because they will get too much to be healthy anyway. We will have our own stuff for the party and find some other use for the sweets we canāt use.
So maybe we are hijacking sweets at the door that we canāt use but I beg the indulgence of our neighbours on that as I think itās better than telling them what they can do.

As a peanut allergy sufferer, I can attest that regular M&Mās did use to have peanuts listed in their ingredients list (the real one, not the āmay containā addendum). If I recall correctly, this would have been the late '80s. Donāt know if it was in the shell or not, but it was there somewhere. After eating a few in my youth, I (luckily) sensed that I should probably check the ingredients before having any more.
Also, even though Iāve never been as supremely allergic to peanuts as some people, I donāt think a properly wrapped peanut treat would contaminate any other treats. If itās a sealed bag, like most candy bars come in, and there are no holes, I extremely doubt that even the most sensitive would be genuinely threatened.
