Popular Chocolate Candy Recalled Over Risk of Severe Allergic Reaction

Bazzini, LLC has announced a voluntary recall of a limited number of SkinnyDipped Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites after the possible presence of an undeclared peanut allergen was discovered. According to the company, the recall was issued out of an abundance of caution after a consumer reportedly found peanut butter-containing products inside individual wrappers within a 3.17-ounce, 10-count package. Peanut butter is not an intended ingredient in the candy.

The company said the issue could pose a serious or life-threatening risk for people with peanut allergies. No allergic reactions or illnesses have been reported so far, but customers who may have purchased the affected products are being urged to take the recall seriously. Consumers are advised to return the recalled items to the place of purchase for a full refund.

The recall covers multiple package sizes and best-by dates. Affected products include 10-count Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites with best-by dates of Dec. 20, Dec. 22, Dec. 23, Dec. 26, Dec. 27 and Dec. 29, 2026. Also included are 6-count Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites with best-by dates of Dec. 26 and Dec. 27, 2026; 50-count Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites with a best-by date of Dec. 23, 2026; and 20-count Easter Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites, 0.53 oz., with best-by dates of Dec. 20 and Dec. 22, 2026.

Additional recalled products include four-count Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites, 3.17 oz., with best-by dates of Dec. 22, Dec. 23, Dec. 26, Dec. 27 and Dec. 29, 2026. Also part of the recall are 32-count Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups shipper products with the same set of best-by dates: Dec. 22, Dec. 23, Dec. 26, Dec. 27 and Dec. 29, 2026.

Bazzini said the recall is limited to specific cases and lot codes, which were included in the company’s statement. Customers are being directed to check packaging carefully and avoid consuming any products that match the recalled best-by dates or lot information. The company’s announcement follows standard food safety procedure for undeclared allergens, one of the most common causes of candy and snack recalls in the United States.

The recall is an important reminder for consumers with food allergies to verify labels and packaging, especially when products are sold in multipacks or individual wrappers. Because peanut exposure can trigger severe reactions in sensitive individuals, authorities advise that anyone who purchased the affected products should not eat them and should seek a refund or dispose of them safely.
