Most of the above-mentioned resources also list products that are NEVER gluten free. Some popular candies that individuals on a gluten-free diet should always avoid are: Twizzlers, Kit Kat bars, 3 Musketeer Poppables, Hershey Krackle, M&M Krispies, Nestle Crunch, Reese’s Sticks, Snickers Poppables and Whoppers.
Diligent label reading and a gluten-free lifestyle are critical for those with celiac disease, but in combination with several respected resources, it is still possible to enjoy the holiday. Give unwanted candy to a food bank, an office, or trade it for more gluten-free candy!
