Gluten Free Easter Candy Options (Certified GF)
This post contains affiliate links including Amazon affiliate links.
With Easter around the corner, I’ve got you prepared with a list of gluten free Easter candy options. All of these options are gluten free and many are dairy free and free of other allergens.
They come with great kid-approved reviews and most are free of bad sugars and food dyes that you can feel good about giving to your kids. It’s a passion of mine to always make sure kids have lots of options for navigating a gluten free life. I never want them to feel like they are missing out on anything.
I’ve broken the options into categories and I’ve included non-candy ideas to fill up their Easter baskets. Use the table of contents for easy navigation.

4. No Whey Foods Mini Cream-Filled Chocolate Eggs
Besides peanut butter filled chocolate, cream-filled chocolate eggs are always a must-have in an Easter basket. These Easter eggs are amazing but the filling is on the low side and the chocolate egg is half of an egg instead of a whole egg.
These eggs are made in a dedicated facility that is free from the top 8 food allergens.
“As someone unable to eat gluten who has been missing Cadbury eggs for two decades I am so so so happy to see there is finally an option like this. If, like me, you can’t eat certain foods you know how exciting it is when there is FINALLY an allergen free version of something you dearly miss. These vegan and g free eggs definitely have the memorable cadbury flavor and filling texture. The eggs are smaller with less filling and a denser chocolate shell than Cadbury eggs. A suggestion for the company would be to have more filling as this is what truly gives the beloved ooey gooey Cadbury experience. Also a bonus would be some turmeric coloring in the center to recall the Cadbury ‘yolks’.” Che (source)
Ingredients: Vegan Cane Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Mass, Rice Syrup Powder, Sunflower Lecithin, Invert Sugar, Dextrose, Natural Flavor

Gluten Free Easter Basket Options
1. Yummy Pallette Kids Bunny Bag (Not all items are certified gluten free)
This bunny bag is adorable. It contains a variety of chocolate bars and one bag of fruit gummies. Each chocolate bar is dairy free, made without artificial ingredients
Moo Free says this about their chocolate bars (the blue Moo Free and Mini Moos): “While we’re not a certified nut free facility, we have strict allergen controls on site, we operate a dedicated ‘Free From’ chocolate production facility, we do not handle any allergens. All raw material suppliers are risk assessed to ensure that there are no allergen cross-contamination risks in the supply chain.” Please note on the packaging of the Mini Moos it says it may contain traces of nuts and soy.

Biona says this about their products (the gummy fruits bears): Are any of your products certified gluten free? Yes! A large amount of Biona products are made with ingredients that do not contain gluten, but since they may not be batch tested we don’t declare them as gluten free. However, we do have a large amount of certified gluten free products across our Biona & Friends’ ranges. You can find them by using the filter on our website, or by browsing our collection certified gluten free products, here. Please always check a specific products’ ingredients list. (source)
“Got these for my two year old for Easter. He’s allergic to wheat and dairy, so it’s hard to find Easter treats for him. Got so excited when I found these! I taste tested one of the chocolate bars… Yummy! Will be ordering again.” Malynn (source)

2. Gluten-Free Easter Snack Bag (Not all items are certified gluten free)
This Easter gift bag has a bit of everything! It’s filled with sweet and savory snacks. It caters to more of a Paleo and keto crowd.
My two cents, none of the snacks in this Easter bag are Easter-themed. If you like this idea, you might be better off putting together one yourself. I also feel the snacks are more for adults than kids.
“I am gluten intolerant and my sister and son have celiac disease. Finding fun treats that won’t make us sick can be a challenge. This is a sweet little bag with snacks-cute enough to be giftable, small enough that I slip it in my purse. Nice little snack sized bags are perfect for a quick treat. I am always hesitant to try new foods in the event they aren’t really gluten free, but each of these is labeled and made of certified gluten free items. Perfect for sending to school or adding in to an Easter basket. It’s a special thing to add when gluten free jelly beans and candies can be hard to find.” Jeannie (source)

Gluten Free Chocolate Bunny
I’ve written about is chocolate gluten free. It usually is unless they added cookies, malt syrup, or it was made in a facility that also produces products containing gluten.
Please note that a lot of people said they had issues with delivery if they lived in a warm state because the chocolate arrived melted.
