FANGtastic UnBOOlivable Sweet Treats for a GHOULish Halloween 2019… [UK Special Post with LINKS]

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:

This Halloween Season the GLUTEN FREE Chocolates and Sweets available in the UK for Halloween 2019 includes…

  • Special packaged and Special Editions of Chocolate & Candy /Sweets made for Halloween 2019.
  • Items which I have found in the shops and held in my hand so I can examine the ingredients and allergen information.
  • Items made with NO GLUTEN CONTAINING INGREDIENTS excluding items which “May contain…” unless specified!
  • Link have been included: direct to Retailers /Manufacturer’s websites showing their ingredients listings and allergen information (where available).
  • Includes items seen at M&SSainsburys, Poundland/PoundworldWilkoAsda and Tescos. As well as Selfridges (London) and Fortnum and Masons, And the Producers: including  CadburysFruitellaMaynards BassettsHariboChewits and Candy King.
  • It is accurate at the time of publishing (October 2019) but manufacturers do change their mixes so you should always read the labels before you put anything in your mouth and enjoy! It’s your own responsibility to remain GLUTEN FREE.
