Gluten & Soy Free Candy Bars

[jrc121]

Anyone know of any mainstream brands? Butterfinger and Snickers and gluten free but not soy. I guess hershey's plain and almond are ok, but am not sure. They contain soy lecithin, which I have heard does not effect people allergic to soy. Don't know how much I agree with this. Haven't checked into resee cups yet, but am afraid of them anyway because of the mixed information I've been reading about gluten. Spoke to a rep from Hershey's recently about resee cups and my favorite candy bar ever: 5th Avenue. She said neither are guaranteed to be gluten free, but she didn't see why it would have any. They couldn't guarantee them because some of the ingredients derive from other manufacturer's or something along those lines.

Hershey has never been Celiac friendly. I do try to avoid buying their products, because they will not disclose the source of Natural Flavors and opt to support their suppliers, rather than deal with the customers who buy their products.

If you're looking for chocolate, Dove make some really good options. Snack bar, try KIND bars.

Enjoy Life makes delicious candy bars that are gluten, dairy, and soy free. They are a specialty item, but I get them at my regular grocery store (Kroger). Whole foods also carries them.

Ooh--looks like there's a coupon, too!

That's what we buy. All of the mainstream chocolate candies contain soy. Skittles and Starburst are also safe.
