Hershey's Irish Creme Kisses?

Someone gave us a lot of Hershey's Irish Creme kisses at Christmas and I keep forgetting to ask if anyone knows if they are gluten-free or not? The kids are bugging me about them, so I googled it and looked it up on the forums and I'm not finding much on it. The website doesn't even have these listed.

We don't have the bag, they were given with some other things.

Anyone have experience with them? If not, they are going to my husband's co-workers. Thanks!

i wss glutoned by the candy cane kisses....so i would be very wary about the irish creme ones. a lot of candy and choc companies put gluten free on their packages but hershey's is not able to make that claim. i probably would give them away if i were you.

Thanks! I probably will, unless I hear something different today. I hesitate to eat Hershey's, but I do let them have the regular kisses. I read that the mint truffle kisses were okay, and found a gluten-free recipe using them, but like I said above, haven't been able to find anything about the Irish creme.

Neither the candy cane nor the irish cream kisses actually have gluten in them. Cross contamination might be an issue but the ingrediants do not contain gluten! hope this helps!

I eat Hershey kisses of various sorts with no problems.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
