First of all happy halloween everyone! This is my first year with celiac, every year I raid the kids candy bags after they go to bed (they don't need all that anyways!!! ) Could someone please just throw out some candy bars or other little tid bits that are known to be okay for us? Let me pick your brain! So far I know I am safe with the kraft caramels and hersheys chocolate, there has to be more????

Actually I just went to the teenagers only section, lol....I"m far from a teen but I just knew they would have the answer and voila!!! There is a giant list in one of the threads that is about safe candy. Happy raiding everyone. Good news for the Almond Joy and Bottle cap lovers out there...apparently they are safe! Hee hee

Actually, I've heard that the miniature Reeses use wheat flour in the manufacturing process.
Milky Way Midnight is safe, regular Milky Way is not (malt in the nugat).

I am so jealous! Look at all the yummy candies you get to eat!
Boy do I miss chocolate. It's making me a grumpy halloween-er.
Enjoy your yummy candies for me!
