Raaka Chocolate
While I haven’t tried them yet, I’ve been following Raaka Chocolate on social media for a while. Their gluten free waffle cone chocolate squares are what caught my eye. However, this month they are launching gluten free and vegan Robin’s Egg chocolates. (And no oat milk!) They’re also soy free, and appear to be corn free. Order Raaka’s Robin Eggs from their website. (All Raaka products are gluten, dairy and soy free. Oat milk is used in some of their products. They use coconut, but no other tree nuts or peanuts. They are also organic and Non-GMO certified.)

Years ago, I fell in love with Gimbal’s heart shaped Cherry Lover’s jelly beans, made with real cherry juice. They also make assorted jelly beans, which are free from gluten, dairy, egg, peanuts, and soy. Use the Gimbal’s website to find their Gourmet Jelly Beans near you. (If those prove difficult to find, Jelly Belly Jelly Beans are also gluten free.)

Love them or hate them, boxed Peeps are gluten free. (Please note that Peeps on a Stick are NOT labeled gluten free.) Did you know that you can use Peeps to make Crisped Rice Treats?

In the United States, Cadbury products are distributed by Hershey. There is no gluten free label on either the mini eggs, or the Cadbury Creaam eggs. However, neither contain gluten ingredients. Please read this article, Are Cadbury Eggs Gluten Free?, by Wheat by the Wayside. *Note, I personally eat these products. Also if you’re a Gluten Free Watchdog subscriber, the Mini Eggs have been tested.

Lindt milk chocolate products contain barley malt powder and are NOT GLUTEN FREE. Please don’t eat these.

My Oh MI does that look delicious! And I agree that times have changed and we have so many options today. Thanks for sharing!
I wish you could come visit Michigan and I could take you to Oh MI Organics. You’d love it!
Yummy, so many great ideas for Easter candy! We also love Amore di Mona chocolate, they make some really yummy vegan chocolate covered caramels that my kids can even have (they have nut allergies). Gimbals is one of our favorites too, and Enjoy Life.
Thanks for that additional candy suggestion!
I just love all of those top brands and hadn’t heard of the MI ones! Hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to share the dairy-free one too. Thank you so much for this great round up!
Dear Alisa,
Just learned that one of my Michigan bakers, The Allergy Table, is offering chocolate bunnies. Will be updating my post to reflect that soon!
