So are you ready for Trick or Treating? Will you be indulging in the limited edition, special packs and exclusive Haunted sweet treats for Halloween? (Of course, some bloggers have already moved into the Christmas season, but before I do, lets look at whats out there in the confectionery world for the SPOOKtacular Coeliac! (as Christmas is just around the corner: with lots of NEW Advent Calendars to be revealed for the Coeliac to enjoy (just like last year) and probably even more Gluten Free Mince Pies and Sweet Treats (just like last year!).
This guide is split into Halloween Chocolates & Sweet Treats by Producers, High Street and Decadent Department Stores, so you can find the delights where ever you are!
Last year, 2018 had a great selection of UK GLUTEN FREE Halloween Treats as well as an even wider choice for the USA market (no surprise!) and previously in 2017 with a good range for the UK market, previously for the ranges in 2015 and 2014, this new post is based upon products seen this year in the UK which is harder than it seems: largely because many of the producers just slap on a “May contain WHEAT” warning on all their chocolate products (such as Hotel Chocolat) and many must make these lines on mixed facilities, so have a risk of cross-contamination. In the USA, my Special Post on Halloween 2018 was pretty extensive where it’s a BIG EVENT so here is a selection of the Sweet treats for the UK:

And remember I love my revised Chocolate Box guide (based upon Chocolatier Producers, Chocolate Boxes on the High Street and Luxurious Chocolate Boxes, Chocolate Bars, Chocolate Bags, my Chocolate Easter Eggs from Chocolatiers and Chocolate manufacturers, High Street Stores and London Department Stores and more recently, my Valentine Chocolates.
SIGN UP so you do not miss out on future updates to the Chocolate Bar listing, as well as new Restaurant Reviews, Travelling experiences, Food Shows, Product Reviews and (occasional) Recipes. Also check out my posts on GLUTEN FREE Ice Cream, GLUTEN FREE Advent Calendars, GLUTEN FREE Mince Pies, GLUTEN FREE Easter Eggs and GLUTEN FREE Valentines Treats.
This information was correct as of October 2019.
But as I am learning, ingredients do change and therefore you should always read the label and check for yourself whether it is GLUTEN FREE or not!
