10 Kinds of Gluten-Free Candy for Your Easter Basket
Updated: Jan. 23, 2023
If you follow a gluten-free diet, there's absolutely no reason to miss out on the Easter candy this year. These gluten-free Easter candy favorites are for all to enjoy.
Jelly Belly Jelly Beans
All Jelly Belly Jelly Beans are made entirely without any gluten, wheat, rye, barley or oats. So these vibrant, tasty treats will make all your gluten-free Easter candy dreams come true. Check out the best-selling jelly bean flavor in every state.
Peeps Marshmallow Chicks
Is there a more synonymous candy with Easter than a classic, bright yellow Peeps chick? We didn’t think so. The good news for all—Peeps’ ingredient list is purely gluten-free. Make sure you know Peeps’ specialty Easter flavors, like Root Beer Float!
Pastel Easter HERSHEY’S Kisses
These pretty HERSHEY’S milk chocolate kisses wrapped up in beautiful pastel shades of blue, pink, green and silver foil are everyone’s favorite. According to HERSHEY’S website, they’re also entirely gluten-free and labeled accordingly for your ensured safety.
Easter Dots
These holiday candies have all of the taste and joy of classic Dots, but come in pretty spring colors. Easter Dots are entirely gluten-free, nut-free and are surprisingly vegan (they don’t contain gelatin). And if you’re looking to make something from scratch, these gluten-free Easter desserts will get you hoppin’.
Tootsie Roll Eggs
We bet you can’t say no to a candy-coated, soft and chewy Tootsie Roll. Especially when it’s individually wrapped and comes in a lovely Easter hue! They’re simply adorable, and they’re also gluten and peanut-free.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures
Some folks wait all year for Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs to hit the shelves in the spring. Although gluten-free folks should stay away from the Reese’s egg (and other seasonal shapes), they can still get their chocolate and peanut butter fix. The brand states that their miniature cups are gluten-free, so dig in! See how Reese’s ranked in our peanut butter cup taste test.
Cadbury Easter Creme Egg
This is still up for some debate, since HERSHEY has not labeled this product gluten-free. The Cadbury Easter Creme Eggs do not contain gluten ingredients on their labels, and they are not listed as being processed in a facility that contains wheat. More than one celiac and gluten-free forum consider these a safe bet (in moderation) .
No Whey Foods Milkless Chocolate Bunny
Eating a large, hollow chocolate bunny is overrated. We prefer biting into this sweet and solid chocolate bunny instead. No Whey products are dedicated to keeping all their products gluten-free, dairy-free, peanut-free, nut-free, egg-free, soy-free, wheat-free, sesame-free, fish-free and shellfish-free. We like that about them.
Dum Dums Easter Bunny Pops
Great news! These irresistible Dum Dums Bunny Pops come in refreshing spring flavors like Tropi Berry, Berry Melon, Berry Lemonade and Berry Blu Cherry. They’re free of all major allergens, including gluten.
Enjoy Life Chocolate Easter Candy Minis
Suppose you’re looking for a chocolate option that’s gluten-free but every bit delicious. This Enjoy Life Chocolate Easter Candy is gluten-free, allergy-friendly and non-GMO.
