Easter can be a tricky time for those who have a dairy intolerance.
Easter time is a favourite among kids. They get two weeks off school and are treated to lots of chocolate eggs, so it's no surprise really.
However, for those who have a dairy intolerance, it can be a bit of a tricky time.
There may be plenty of chocolate eggs in the stores but, unfortunately, not all of them are suitable for kids with allergies. And finding one for a dairy-free child can be tough.
So, to help make the job a little easier on everyone, we have found five really tasty eggs that are all dairy-free and perfect for both kids and adults.
