    Celiac.com 04/21/2020 (Updated on 03/05/2021) - We've had more than a few requests for a handy list of top candy bars that are gluten-free. Note that although some of these bars do not use "gluten-free" on their labels, they do list all ingredients and disclose whether they contain any of the top 8 allergens. If you're a candy bar lover looking for a reliable source of gluten-free candy bars, it's always best to look for bars that specifically marked "gluten-free," however, many of the bars in this list have been consumed for years by celiacs without issues, and don't contain any gluten ingredients. These major brands of candy bars are widely available, are gluten-free by ingredient and allergen disclosures, and deliver good bang for the buck.

    2. 3 Musketeers Candy Bar

    Scott Adams

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    Top Ten Gluten-free Halloween Treats
    Celiac.com 10/24/2014 - Here are ten recipes for make-at-home Halloween treats that are guaranteed to put smiles on the faces of your young ones, and help you to breath a sigh of gluten-free relief.
    The recipes are gluten-free, or easily modified to be gluten-free. Remember to double-check ingredients, such as caramel (I use Kraft caramels without any issues).
    Also, many of these recipes list ingredients that acre fat-free, sugar-free, low-fat, and/or low sugar. I always ignore such instructions and include full-fat, full-sugar alternatives, but prepare according to your own tastes.

    Are Snickers Candy Bars Gluten-Free?

One of the most common product questions we see is: Are Snickers candy bars gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is yes! Currently, all flavors of Snickers, Snickers Dark bars, Snickers fun size and Snickers mini's are gluten-free, according to website for parent company Mars. The longer answer is that it's always wise to check, as product formulation can change, sometimes suddenly.
