Last year,
I wrote about some of the dairy free Easter eggs that were available.
Well, after a bit of shopping around, here is the list for 2008.
Alpha Confectionery
Once again, Alpha Confectionery, based right here in Melbourne, have their range of dairy free, gluten free & nut free eggs in stores. These are suitable for vegans.
The photo shows their bag of small eggs (each bag contains 7 eggs) for a total of 100 grams.

I don't just eat these at Easter. I eat these all year round. They have become my special treat. (One egg is perfect with a cup of tea!)
