See’s Candies

The majority of See’s Candies contain no gluten. They state the following on their website. “Candies produced in See’s Candies facilities do not contain gluten, and these products are the vast majority of those we sell. We sell a small amount of specialty candies that we purchase from other partner confectioners.

Although these don’t contain gluten, they are manufactured in shared facilities or in shared equipment with gluten-containing products. These products are candy canes, peanut butter bites, lemon drops, apple pie bites, Hanukkah hard candy, hot cocoa, chocolate covered coffee beans sold in our retail shops and online at Sees.com.”

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.)

While Alter Eco doesn’t specifically make Easter Candy, many of their candy bars and truffles ARE gluten free. When searching their website, you can specifically mark that you only want gluten free options shown.

Cadbury Products

In the United States, Cadbury products are distributed by Hershey. There is no gluten free label on either the mini eggs, or the Cadbury Cream 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. 

Chocolove- No Longer Labeled Gluten Free

I have been a fan of Chocolove candy for a long time because their products were specifically labeled gluten free. However, when I recently visited their FAQ section, their website states the following:

“We’ve recently updated our packaging and you may have noticed the Gluten Free &/or Dairy Free claims are no longer on the front of our packaging. We want to assure you that there have been no changes to the recipes or ingredients. The products you love are made with the same high-quality ingredients as always.”
