I used to want to include little treats in my kids' stockings to help Santa out. However, these treats needed to be both dairy-free and gluten-free and created with as "healthyish ingredients as possible. 

I may not have doused my kids with sugar, but I sure wanted them to have a little indulgence around the holiday time. I tried to begin the search early because there were not as many choices as there are now, so supplies went quickly.

If you are looking for a candy gift for someone who is trying to avoid dairy, it may be challenging. This is especially true if it is your first time exploring dairy-free candy options.

I am hoping this guide takes some pressure off of you when searching for quality candy options that are dairy-free. These Christmas candy gift ideas make great stand-alone gifts that can be given to a friend or loved one as well as excellent stocking stuffer gifts.

Best Christmas Candy Gifts (that are Dairy free)

Sweet Vegan Chocolates offers several Christmas candy gift ideas to choose from, however, I have linked to the box where you can create your own. They offer 18 flavors to choose from. This way you can customize the gift to the recipient's liking.

Sweet Vegan Chocolates create decadent chocolates with healthier choices. They are transparent when it comes to what they use, and the ingredient list is not long. These tend to be pricey probably but may be worth the price to those looking for high-quality, specific ingredients.

18 Flavors to choose from which include:   midnight passion (coffee flavor), energizing espresso, spicy ginger, luscious lemon, blackberry gem, cinnamon xo, pumpkin perfection, blueberry bliss, peppermint persuasion, pomegranate power, strawberry sensation, kiwi krazy, raspberry royale, coconut caribbean, orange blossom, and tropicale

Boy are these delicious. They remind me of a true caramel. And just a warning, they can be addicting. I show willpower by not having them around in the first place.

I have chosen to include them on the list because they make a great stocking stuffer. Pour them into a cute fabric Christmas baggie like this for a little gift giving.

Another gift option for the holiday season is this sophisticated-looking box of Avenue Sweets caramels. It comes wrapped in a ribbon and is ready to go.

If you choose the option linked above, you can pick one, two, or three of the flavors to include in the gift box. These flavors include vanilla, chocolate, and sea salt.

They do sell caramels that have dairy. They come in more flavors and it could be easy to think they are all dairy-free, but they are not. However, the dairy-free caramels are organic and include I guess you could say - "better sugar ingredients".

Peanut brittle is a popular item loved by many during this time of the year. However, it is not easy finding a nut brittle without dairy. Luckily, Avenue Sweets has this area covered.

Not only do they offer dairy-free peanut brittle, they also have dairy-free cashew and pecan brittle as well. Coconut milk and coconut oil take the place of milk, making it dairy free.

You may get a single batch of brittle for around $11.99, or three batches in three different flavors for around $30.

There are several gift-giving choices offered by Fine and Raw which accomodate to many budgets. This particular gift set is good for someone looking to make a bigger purchase.

It includes a truffle set,  a set of large candy bars that come in different flavors, a chocolate hazelnut spread, and confections. Also, their ingredients are clean and simple. Most of them are organic as well.

This would make a great gift set as is. However, there are many more options if you want to visit their site and check the options out.

Raaka is a certified organic company that is soy and gluten-free along with dairy-free. Their chocolate library gift box includes 8 large-sized candy bars in 8 different flavors.

These flavors are as follows: banana foster, rose cardamom, bourbon cask aged, green tea crunch, oat milk, pink sea salt, coconut milk, and maple and nibs.

They use unroasted cocoa in their chocolate bars to give more of a fruit taste to their bars. Additionally, they offer more interesting items such as waffle cone chocolate candy which gives the chocolate bar texture and crunch. Hot chocolates and spreads are also available.

This little chocolate Santa is sure to please any sweet tooth that adores chocolate. Amanda's Own Confessions uses minimal ingredients for this molded candy Santa.

It is made of only organic cane sugar and unsweetened chocolate and cocoa butter. Cocoa butter is non-dairy by the way. Also, it is affordable at a weight of 3.5 oz.

Additionally, the box it comes in adds is festive with gold on the inside and a ribbon to finish it off. This makes a wonderful stocking stuffer. I have used this many times myself.

One thing you will see all around at Christmas time are Christmas Advent Calendars. Now they are available for the dairy free crowd as well.

This calendar is available starting the first week in November. A sweet treat awaits behind each unopened door. Open one daily, and a little chocolate embracing a Christmas picture will be found.

The calendar even includes a larger Santa that can be enjoyed on Christmas day. This is a lot for a decent value.


I am a big fan of Amanda's Own Confessions, and I have bought her treats often. This is another one of the many delicious gifts offered by her company. 

This candy gift idea is beautifully boxed with five pieces of chocolate, one for each section. A snowman, Christmas tree, or Christmas message is included on each piece of chocolate. Again, the ingredients are clean and simple, and the price is very affordable for dairy-free chocolate.

Also on the dairy free Christmas candy gift idea list is this chocolate candy set from the company Fames. It comes in a simple and elegant box and is perfect to use as a hostess gift.

If you visit their site, you can customize your box of chocolates with up to seven different varieties. The kinds of chocolates they offer are plenty and some of the flavors include super berry, lemon zest, coffee cream, butter blend, and chocolate fudge.

Truffles

Truffles make a great hostess gift because they offer a little fancy touch, but are the perfect gift to give to anyone that loves chocolate surprises without the dairy.

Witerki truffles are special because you can have a message written on these truffles. This Etsy seller offers specialized writing on their homemade Christmas candy making it extra special.

Also, the company uses ingredients such as coconut cream and maple syrup to flavor the truffles.

Although the seller says the truffles do not contain eggs, be aware that the marzipan is one of the ingredients used. Therefore, some truffles may include egg whites.

M2 Confections chocolates are beautifully colored and designed with an added artistic touch. They offer a dairy-free coconut dark chocolate truffle gift box. 

For all of you who are a fan of cordial cherry chocolates as I am, you are in for a treat from this company. Yes, they carry a vegan chocolate cordial cherry truffle.

This chocolate candy gift ups the artistic elegance a notch with phenomenal designs. They are truly works of art.

If you are looking for a healthier candy that is free from dairy and refined sugars, then Daydream may be the option for you. They offer delicious gifts that do not use any seed oils, eggs, or wheat either.

In place of refined sugar, they use dark organic coconut sugar. Their coconut sugar is sustainably sourced from Peru.

The chocolates come boxed as a set of six. The cashew butter caramel truffle is one of their popular sellers, but they also sell others such as cookie dough and vanilla almond ganache.

These vegan truffles are made with rich, dark chocolate and are sure to please any dark chocolate lover. This product, however, is not suitable for those avoiding soy due to the use of non-GMO soy lecithin. 

The chocolates come nicely packaged in a little box and contain eight chocolate truffles and eight chocolate raspberry truffles. The company sells both dairy and non-dairy products, therefore, be aware and choose carefully.

Last on the candy gift list is this healthier dairy-free candy option. These truffles are by Wholesome Nibbles. They are sweetened with dates instead of sugar. The truffles are boxed and sold as a set of fifteen.

They are very pretty and decorated nicely. The variety of flavors included are cookie dough, chocolate almond, chocolate raspberry, coconut cranberry, espresso almond, goji maca, and apricot walnut. These are a great gift for those looking for a homemade wholesome touch.
