Valentine’s Day Candy That’s Gluten-Free

Regardless of your thoughts about Valentine’s Day, you can’t skip out on the candy that comes with it. It’s even better to buy it for half price on the 15th.

It’s cupcakes, not candy, but you are missing out if you haven’t ordered from Baked By Melissa before. She has gluten-free cupcakes and macaroons that are filled with fun flavors.

The important thing to look for when buying gluten-free Valentine’s Day candy is the certified gluten-free logo. This will ensure they haven’t been made in a facility that also makes gluten-filled candies.

Here is a starter list of candy that is gluten-free.

While this is a list that has candies that are CURRENTLY gluten-free, please always make sure to do your own checking when you purchase at the store. Some variations may not be considered gluten-free.
