Thanks to Celiac.org, there is a comprehensive list of gluten free Halloween candies and I don’t have to do all the research! I pulled some of the more popular treats from the list and share them below, but please refer to the full list of Gluten Free Halloween Candies here.
Remember to ALWAYS check labels. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer or just don’t eat it (it’s not good for you anyway!).

- Mars candy brand says the following on its website: (ALWAYS CHECK LABELS!): “We will always declare the presence of any of the top allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, milk, egg, soy, wheat, fish and crustacean shellfish) whenever they are part of the recipe regardless of the source (e.g., flavors, spices, colors, other minor ingredients, etc.). The label is the best source in determining what is in the product. The ingredient listing and allergen statement provide information on ingredients that may be of concern to you.”
REMINDER: Remember to always be extra cautious before eating Halloween candy. Much of it is manufactured in alternative factories to meet high demand. This means you must double check if the mini-sized treats or specially packaged Halloween items are gluten free before consuming! Don’t rely on prior knowledge as things can change for holiday manufacturing runs.
Or even better, donate your Halloween candy to our troops. Who needs all that yucky sugar anyway!?!
Happy Halloween!
