Okay call me stupid. I knew that there could be a problem with the mini's in all candy's but...I bought the reeses holiday bells for my daughter and after two glasses of wine, I thought what the heck and ate two. A couple hours later I was in serious agony. I didn't have the original wrapper anymore to read ingredients. All morning long needing imodiam. I went to the grocery store and read package...it contains wheat flour :angry: . I am sure this has been mentioned before but wanted to help someone else who may run into them at a holiday party ect.

Oh my ... is it just the reeses bells or do you think it's the mini cups as well? I'll have to run check because we have the mini cups and my son has been eating them! I've been searching for weeks to see what's been causing him to have symptoms again!!

I just checked the package on the Reeses mini's no wheat ingredients listed. Has something called TBHQ...don't know what that is. I have been eating them and no reaction. I am very sensitive.

The same thing happend to me. I grabbed a handful of bells out of a bowl at work and got sick that night. I thought I was coming down with the flu. I bought a bag a few days later and when I got home read the ingredients and almost flipped out; wheat flour is clearly listed. Part of me was glad I wasn't coming down with the flu and the other part of me was mad for assuming they were safe.
