Hi Mark,

Welcome to the board! I posted a similar question last week and did not get a great response What I did find out is that Russel Stovers chocolates are gluten-free, with the exception of smores and cookies, but that it is processed on the same equipment as wheat. I am not sure if I am willing to risk the cc.

However, it looked like some of the Dove valentines and hershey valentines boxes were okay.

Your girlfriend is lucky to have a boyfriend who is looking out for her health.

I posted on the other thread that I found the ORGANIC boxes of Whitman's and Russell Stover chocolates are marked "Gluten Free" right on the front of the package! I had to buy them, and they are quite good. I too was missing the yummy boxed chocolates, but both Whiman's and Russel Stover's regular (not the organic) are processed on shared equipment with wheat, so this is a good alternative.

Good luck!

My favorite SEE'S CANDY is now gluten-free...everything except for the malt truffles (obviously). Woo hoo!

This place has great chocolate, is made virtually allergen free (soy, corn, etc.) and is also Kosher.

I got sick twice from Russel Stover's candy (the kind that said it is processed on the same equip. as wheat on the box). I would NOT eat it again.

On that note, Reeses Peanut Butter Hearts are gluten-free. My husband has been instructed to get me approximately 10 lbs of reeses peanut butter hearts. Yum!

I'll have to look for those peanut butter hearts

Whole Foods has some lovely exotic chocolate collections. They're kinda pricey though.
