    Gluten-Free Halloween Candy: Top 20 List

    Oct 24, 2021 · Leave a Comment

    Check out this list of the Top 20 Gluten-free Halloween Candy and Chocolate so you don't get SPOOKED by gluten this Halloween! ????

    You've gone gluten-free to end gluten bloating (yay!) but Halloween is coming and you want to eat some candy from your kids' bag, of course.

    But which little treats should you grab so you don't have to worry that you'll end up regretting it come November 1st?

    Check out this list for the Top 20 Gluten-Free Halloween Candy!

    With this list of gluten-free halloween candy, you'll be able to confidently swipe a few treats here and there from your kids stash, without them noticing of course????

    Here's the Top 20 list of gluten-free Halloween candy, A-Z:

    • Aero Minis
    • Bounty Minis
    • Rockets
    • Candy Corn
    • Chocolate Loonies - on the label, these are listed as "may contain wheat and tree nuts". This is likely due to the fact that they're produced in a facility that is not peanut and/or wheat free.
    • Chocolate Vanilla Caramels
    • Giant Cola Bottle Gummies
    • Gummi Worms
    • Hersey chocolate bars
    • Jelly Belly 50 Flavour Mix
    • Jolly Rancher Candy Assorted Flavours
    • O'Henry's
    • Reese's Pieces
    • Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Cup
    • Rosebuds - ingredient list does not list any gluten-containing ingredients but reads, "may contain tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and/or sulphites."
    • Salt Water Taffy
    • Tootsie Mini Rolls
    • Skittles, including Berry
    • Vanilla Caramels
    • York Peppermint Patties - label reads "may contain wheat". No gluten containing ingredients listed

    Are Kit-Kats gluten-free?

    No, Kit-Kats are not gluten-free. They contain wheat flour.

    Are O-Henry's gluten-free?

    Yes! O-Henry's are gluten-free.

    Is Hersey's gluten-free?

    Yes! Hersey's Milk Chocolate bars are gluten-free.

    Are Smarties gluten-free?

    No. Smarties, by Nestle, contain wheat flour and are not gluten-free. Note: in the United States, Smarties are referred to as "Rockets".

    Are Twizzlers gluten-free?

    No. Twizzlers (and related candy like Twizzlers Cherry Nibs) contain wheat flour and are not gluten-free.

    What does "gluten-free" on a label even mean?

    Here's the best definition I've come across on the internet. It's from Hersey's website, complete link here.

    Here's the whole quote:

    "Gluten-free foods must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) gluten. Foods may be labeled “gluten-free” if they are inherently gluten free; or do not contain an ingredient that is:

    1) a gluten-containing grain (e.g., spelt wheat);

    2) derived from a gluten-containing grain that has not been processed to remove gluten (e.g., wheat flour); or

    3) derived from a gluten-containing grain that has been processed to remove gluten (e.g., wheat starch), if the use of that ingredient results in the presence of 20 parts per million (ppm) or more gluten in the food.

    Also, any unavoidable presence of gluten in the food must be less than 20 ppm."

    Well, that's a gluten-free mouthful.

    This blog is dedicated to eliminating the vast majority of gluten-containing foods from your diet so that you can beat the bloat and feel better fast.

    Just like I did????‍♀️
