I Miss Lindor Chocolates :(

[JillianLindsay]

My favourite treat at this time of year is the Lindor white chocolate balls, but they have barley malt extract Can anyone suggest similar, delicious alternatives? Thanks

No, I am just here to commiserate! I don't trust much of the chocolate out there...For example, Aero bars, regular, have no mention of wheat. The little small bars in bags say "may contain wheat" even though none of the ingredients are wheat-y and the ingredient list is the same on both. Maybe it's where it's manufactured, dunno, but I don't want to risk it. I could email the company, I just probably don't need the chocolate anyway.

However, if anyone has any suggestions, I am OPEN to them!!!

I've never had any problem with Ghiradelli chocolates and squares. Be sure to read the ingredients panel to be safe, but I've never seen anything questionable in the ones I've tried.

For white chocolate lovers, the white chocolate Toblerones are gluten-free I love those, as well as Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!

For mini chocolates (i.e. hallowe'en size candies), they are on a line that is not cleaned between processes, so they may contain wheat. Apparently the lines for the regular and large sized candies are cleaned between each kind.

Hope that helps

What about Botticelli Hedgehogs? They're belgian milk chocolate: Open Original Shared Link

INGREDIENTS: Milk Chocolate [sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk powder, chocolate liquor, nonfat dry milk, butteroil, soy lecithin-emulsifier, vanilla extract], Hazelnuts. Produced in a plant that uses peanuts and tree nuts.

The only thing I'm thinking might be a problem is the chocolate liquor? No additional ingredients listed for it... what do people think?

Thanks
