Candy Anyone?

[Kathy21225]

I've been on my gluten free diet for 2 months now, and just dying for something normal. like candy. I was in walmart the other day, and looked at the Walmart brand of jelly beans, spice drops, candy corn, and jelly slices. They are all Gluten free, says so on the back of the package. Its great, also only $1 a bag. Thought I would share this in case anyone would like to try some sweets.

are you are the one to ask then, what about skittles , are they milk free too? sick of fruit pasitlles, after 3 packs you get sick of them.

I think they are dairy free! But you may want to double check on the ingredient label on the candy. Here's what a website said the ingredients were.

Sugar, Corn syrup, Partially hydrogenated soybean oil,

Fruit juice from concentrate (orange, lime, grape, strawberry, lemon),

Less than 2% citric acid, Dextrin, Natrual and artificial flavors,

Gelatin, Food strach - modified, color (Yellow lake 5, yellow lake 6,

red lake 40, blue lake 2, blue lake1, yellow 5, yellow 6, blue 1)

blue 1), Ascorbic acid

Also Reese's PB cups are gluten-free, but some people says it makes there stomach hurt still.
