2014 Gluten Free Halloween Candy Guide

Dear Diary,


So Halloween is this Friday and I don't know about you...but I love Halloween. It's the one night that it doesn't matter what you look like or talk like or walk like, everyone is a freak! So many different and cute and clever Halloween costumes people come out with. Bobby and I have gone to a Halloween party for years now. Last year was my favorite costume. Can you tell who I was?


This is actually the first year in years we aren't going to one. I was a little disappointed we didn't have one to go too (I was going to be Maddie from the Sia Chandelier video if we went) but that's ok. It saved me money so I can spend it on candy now. Speaking of candy, did you know that there is a lot of gluten found in certain candy! I was so upset when I realized that last year. But with this being my second Halloween as gluten free, I am much more of a pro, so with that I thought I would share with you the list of all the candies you CAN eat this Halloween.
