Yep, they're like sweet tarts without the tartness. 
I haven't had the Canadian version before. Do you think chocolate makes them Smartier or makes you smarter?

What about foods like popcorn, marshmallows and candied apples. Are these store bought foods safe or are their certain receipes to help make them safe? Are there any candies that anyone might know of with cocoa cause I am totally craving something chocolately???

Junior Mints are the only safe chocolate candy I know of.
Marshmallows are totally fine. Speaking of marshmallows, rice krispy treats are safe too, as long as you make your own - there should be a recipe in the recipe index.
Popcorn is kind of iffy - it's very hard to digest. Candied apples are a double-whammy - the apple peel is also hard to digest, and the candy coating (esp. if it's caramel) has dairy in it, which is a big no-no.

My favorite is cherry pull-and-peel twizzlers! Also, if you want safe chocolate, Newman's Own Organics makes something called "Champion Chip" cookies...and they are amazing, safe chocolate chip cookies. They don't have them everywhere but often you can find them in the organic section of your grocery or at a place like Whole Foods. A bit pricey but I think they are worth it.
