Anyone found good gluten-free/cf chocolate? Also when that labels says "cocoa butter" is that a dairy ingredient?

Thanks for your help!

cocoa butter is not a milk ingredient!


Giant Eagle brand chocolate chips are gluten-free/CF, and nut free too.

Enjoy Life Foods has gluten-free/CF chocolate chips as well.

We buy those and melt them down to make our own goodies!

AWESOME!!!! We so miss chocolate! Do you know if either of those are carried in the grocery store or if they are basically on-line order items.

Thanks so much Michael!

I've found that the milk free chocolate in the stores that I go to usually have "may contain traces of milk ingedients" on the label. I'll have to look and see if the stores in my area carry those products. Thanks.

Is cross contamination as much of a concern with casien as it is with gluten?

Personally, if it says made in the same facility as milk products, I'll still eat it. But, if it says made in the same facility as gluten products, I won't touch it. I don't know if it's the right thing to do.

dark chocolate (by and large) doesn't contain milk. (I think I saw one that did... it was a wacky flavor, and I wouldn't really call it dark chocolate.) many are made on shared lines, of course. most plain chocolate is gluten-free as well, always read the label. my favorites are tropical source, endagered species, dagoba, scharffen-berger, and green&black. (hershey's will always label everything, but I was never a fan of hershey's outside of their symphony bar, and I can't do milk anymore...)

I can get dairy contamination. I have from Lays Stax and Lays Regular chips. Ragu is the only brand that I can tolerate that has "may contain traces of milk ingredients" on the label.

Tropical Source is definitely my fav gluten-free/cf chocolate--dark and rich-yum! It comes in bars and chips.

I got a valentine's box from them and it was so nice to have a box of different flavored truffles to pick from - they were all safe, no worries and yet so decadent.

The Enjoy Life products you shouldn't have to worry about CC.

I buy mine at a local specialty store - not really a health food store but has a lot of health food products. I can't remember if you can order the chips online or not.
