Last year I posted this complete list of ALL gluten free, vegan & dairy free Halloween candy and it blew up! Since then it has been receiving thousands of views a day so I figured with Halloween quickly approaching now would be a great time to share a 2021 list. And, to make it even better, I’ve included nut-free candies on this years list as well!
This list is simply an updated version of last years to include new candies that are filling store’s shelves. Buying candy can be hard, especially with all the food allergies kids and adults have nowadays. So, I’ve done all the heavy lifting for you to make buying these sugar filled treats less stressful. This 2021 list includes candies that are VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY-FREE and/or NUT-FREE.
NOTE: Just use this post as a guide. Be sure to double check ALL candies before buying to ensure they are GLUTEN-FREE, VEGAN, DAIRY-FREE and/or NUT-FREE safe!
