Vermont Nut Free Chocolates is a small confectionery company focused on producing chocolates and confections free from tree nuts and peanuts. It was founded in 1998 by Gail and Mark Elvidge after their son Tanner’s peanut allergy prompted them to seek safer options, beginning with hand-made chocolate to avoid cross-contamination. Today, production occurs in a dedicated nut-free facility in Grand Isle, Vermont, and its products are available online and in more than 500 stores nationwide. The company operates within the food and beverage manufacturing sector as a specialized chocolatier prioritizing allergen-safe options for families and individuals with nut allergies. It is based in Colchester, Vermont, with its nut-free production facility located in Grand Isle. In 2023 it launched allergy-friendly Hot Cocoa Bombs, representing a recent product expansion.
