Gluten free candy

Probably your best bet would be to do some research online first. I feel like you can find ANYTHING on the web, even things you wouldn't necessarily want to. Lol! Good luck. Maybe you could post your results for other people interested in gluten and dye free candy. And now I am curious myself. Happy Easter.

My nephew who is 6 years old is gluten free and he eats Hershey kisses and m & ms. I know the coloring in the m & ms would not be good in your case. Here is a website that may help: http://celiac-disease.com/gluten-free-easter-candy-2009/
Good luck.

I found this on a website I was looking at the other day:
(The website is: http://celiacfamily.com/easter-candy/) It looks like the website might have been last updated for Easter of '09 so of course you'd still want to check labels on the foods, but I would imagine that for the most part the ingredients wouldn't drastically change year-to-year. Good luck! :flowerforyou:
