Celiac Safe Halloween

I saw this Halloween candy list on the Beyond Celiac website and wanted to share it with you all. We all need to be very careful with Halloween candy. Sometimes candy that is normally gluten free may not be when it's made in the smaller version for holidays like Halloween (manufacturing processes may be different with risks of cross-contamination). Be safe and remember, if you aren't sure if something is GF, look it up. read labels, or don't eat it. Do not take any risks!!
