Halloween is around the corner and I have been getting a ton of question about safe gluten free candy. A lot of classic favorites are safe but gluten can be in some candy’s that many people  are not aware. To be safe, always READ the label or contact the company.

Safe Gluten Free Candy:

• Original Butter Finger
• Sno-Caps
• Fun Dip
• Pixy Stix
• Laffy Taffy
• Raisinets (my fav 🙂 )
• M&M’s Original
• 3 Musketeer
• Milky Way
• Dove Chocolate
• Snickers
•  Smarties
• Almond Joy
• Mounds
• Kisses
• Rees’s Peanut Butter Cups
• York Patties
• Heath Bar
• Skittles

Not Gluten Free

• Twizzlers
• Cookie and Cream Bars
• Mr. Goodbar
• Hershey Extra Dark Chocolate
• Take 5
• Kit Kat
• Licorice
• Clark Bar
• Crunch Bar
• Airheads (made in a facility with wheat)
• Brach’s Candy Corn (made in a facility with wheat)
• Nerds (made in a facility with wheat)
• Whoppers
• Warheads

With extra candy you have after the big day have fun putting it to good use. I like to make graveyard brownies. Using either store bought gf brownies or making my own. Then topping with chocolate frosting and getting creative.  Use pep’s, colored sugar and candy to make your brownies look like a spooky graveyard.

Another fun snack is making a candy pizza. Top a gluten free pizza crust with some peanut butter and then sprinkle you favorite candy, dry fruit or cereal on top. Fun for kids to do and a great way to prevent them from eating to much candy at a time.
