Halloween is just around the corner, and that might have you scrambling to find safe chocolate options. To help you navigate your way through the virtual/in-person chocolate shelves, here is the ultimate gluten-free Halloween chocolate list.
Keep in mind, that even with products on the “safe” list of our ultimate gluten-free chocolate list, if it involves a pretzel, crumbs, cookie, cake, or another item that is commonly made with wheat/gluten, do not buy/eat it unless it is labelled gluten-free.
Previously, we shared the ultimate gluten-free chocolate list and the ultimate gluten-free candy list, which have a wider array of products. Today’s ultimate gluten-free Halloween chocolate list, focuses more on candy you can hand out to trick-or-treaters, give as a gift to gluten-free kids, or put out at a Halloween party.
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 the labels.
Remember when reading any food labels (chocolate or otherwise) you want to know the alternative names for gluten, and 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 and 15 Steps for going gluten-free.
DISCLAIMER: Most of the chocolate on this list is manufactured in facilities, or on equipment that is also used to manufacture products which contain gluten. Please be sure to determine if it is safe for your own personal consumption. Also, products that are labelled gluten-free are clearly indicated on the list. Other products simply do not contain gluten in the ingredients, but are not labelled gluten-free.

“Most of our products do not contain gluten from added ingredients. Those that do contain wheat gluten, such as S’mores clearly show the presence of wheat in the ingredient listings.
However, please be aware that products containing wheat are produced on equipment that is also used to make our other products. So, we cannot rule out the possibility of cross-contact, despite efforts to prevent it. Because of that possibility, we do not declare any of our products to be gluten-free. Please check the ingredient listing and also check the May Contain information on our package.”
