Chocolate and candy are a quintessential part of Valentine’s Day. However, it can get tricky when you are gluten-free, or buying for someone who is gluten-free, as hidden gluten lurks in many confectionary treats. To help you safely navigate your way through the virtual/in-person chocolate shelves, I’ve put together this ultimate gluten-free chocolate list.
Adding chocolate to a gift, or using it as a hostess gift is common. This is especially true of Valentine’s Day when thoughts go to flowers and chocolate. If you are looking for non-food gifts, check out this awesome Valentine’s Gift guide or check out any of the other holiday gift guides for inspiration.
Keep in mind, that even with products on the ‘safe” list of our ultimate gluten-free chocolate list, if it involves a pretzel, cookie, cake, or another item that is commonly made with wheat/gluten, do not eat it unless it is labelled gluten-free.
Use this list as a guideline; however, you should always read the label to ensure that the product is made gluten-free in your area. Manufacturing formulations can be different between counties and/or can change with special or holiday versions of products. Also, recipes and manufacturing practices can change so it’s always a good idea to check labels.
Remember when reading any food labels (chocolate or otherwise) you want to know the alternative names for gluten, what “may contain” vs. “contains” means. You may even want to use a scanner app to help you decipher if a product is safe. Check out the other tactics and practices to avoid gluten in our Ultimate Gluten-Free Guide for Beginners.
DISCLAIMER: Most of the chocolate on this list is manufactured in facilities or on equipment that is also used to manufacture products containing gluten. Please be sure to determine if it is safe for your own personal consumption.

Thank you for all you do. You are wonderful for posting all these choices. We get to reap the benefits of all your hard work. Thank you again.
Thank you so much. You have no idea what your kind words mean to me. I assume if it’s information that helps me now or would have helped me when I started my gluten-free journey it might be beneficial to others. Thank you again. If you ever have any questions or have any ideas of information you would like me to cover on the blog please let me know. Cheers.
I do thank you for the gluten free candy list.
Thank you for reading.
We are thrilled you found the candy list helpful. We will continue building on it and will alert members of our Gluten-free Foodee Facebook Group when additions are made.
Thank you again.
Thank you. This is a very helpful list

Hi Heather,
Thank you so much for letting us know. We’ll be sure to update the list.
Cheers,

TY so much the the GF candy / Chocolate list 🙂
Hi Georgina,
You are very welcome. Hope you saw our gluten-free Halloween candy and chocolate lists.
Also, stay tuned because Christmas lists are coming out in the coming weeks.
Thank you.
Cheers,
Elyse
This is a valuable site, thank you.
As well, check out Theobroma chocolat (out of Quebec, Canada) – they are nearly everything-free! 🙂
Hi Bonnie,
I definitely will.
Thank you so much for the tip and your kind words.
Cheers,
Elyse
Don’t milky ways have barley in them?
Hi MH,
You are right, but ” The Milky Way Midnight and Milky Way Caramel do not have gluten containing ingredients such as the malted barley.” that is why are on the list and not the original Milky way.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Elyse
May I suggest Guittard’s milk chocolate baking chips? Best chocolate. See’s and Ghirardelli are my go-to’s as well.
Hi Sara,
I will look into the Guittard’s milk chocolate baking chips. Thank you for the tip!
Cheers,
Elyse
My friend Adam is gluten-free
Hi Rebecca,
I hope our recipes and resources help your friend.
Cheers,
Elyse
Thank you for your sharing this list. I have a very bad Gluten Free intolerance and this really is great for me to know! I found out about my Celiac Disease in the 1970s. It was hard to find anything that tasted like regular food! The companies that are making the Gluten free food that tastes just like the original type, that would be poisonous to me, deserve our gratitude! Thank you too, for making it easier to find the goodies that are gluten free! Bless you!
Hi Sherry,
I can only imagine how hard it must have been in the 70s. In know it was difficult for me to go gluten-free 8 nearly 9 years ago and I had products to choose from.
You are so welcome. It is why we created the list because knowing which brands ( even if you should should always read the package and double check individual products) saves time and gives you a starting point. We tried to create a list that not only should which brands are labelled gluten-free, but also ones that that just don’t contain gluten for those who are non-celiac gluten sensitive.
Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to comments- check out our holiday lists ( Halloween, Holiday, Valentines, Easter)
Cheers,
Elyse
Yikes! My GF staples have been crossed off the list! When I read the ingredients, though, I can’t identify anything with gluten. Is there a reason for the items with the strike-throughs?
E.g. Aero, Peanut M&Ms, Hershey Kisses, Turtles classic…
Hi Cyd,
The strikethroughs are meaningless. They indicate something is wrong with the link. As long as the product is part on the list it’s safe. We’re working on fixing all the links.
Thank you so much.
Cheers,
Elyse
