Is all chocolate gluten free?
Not all chocolate is gluten free because many chocolate bars and boxed chocolates have gluten ingredients added to them during manufacturing to produce different flavours, textures and shelf-life’.
However, pure chocolate (or 100% chocolate) is gluten free because it’s made of cocoa mass which is a naturally gluten free food.
Cocoa mass is a brown liquid which is created using cocoa nibs and which forms the basis of all other forms of chocolate bars and chocolates as we know them.
It’s not very often that you’ll see 100% chocolate though, because it just doesn’t taste that great (welcome to bitter-town).
Instead you’ll find chocolate which falls into categories of dark, milk or white in general, and depending on what ingredients are added to these basic forms of chocolate.
You might find gluten lurking within, or you might not.
Lots of chocolates are labelled gluten free which makes life easy for gluten free folk.
But that isn’t always the case, and there’s plenty of chocolate out there which is accidentally gluten free, meaning it may not be labelled gluten free but when you check the ingredients list and allergen label, there’s no gluten ingredients listed or mentioned.
If you haven’t already, check out the full list of chocolates I put together which are gluten free further up in this article.
It includes branded or non-branded chocolate lists which include all those which are gluten free, either accidentally or marketed gluten free.

The best gluten free alternatives to your favourite chocolates
Mars Bars
Try Aldi’s Racer Bars in a mulitpack form. These are very similar to mars bars but are accidentally gluten free, meaning they contain no gluten ingredients and have no allergen warning for gluten ingredients either.
They’re also a fraction of the price with a multipack of 6 only costing £1.09!
Check them out here on Aldi’s website.
Kinder Bueno’s
For a swap here to a gluten free version, I’d recommend Schar Melto’s!
You can buy these in most supermarkets in the gluten free sections, and they’re super similar to kinder bueno’s but are certified gluten free.
They’re roughly the same price as an actual Kinder Bueno too, although you only get one finger with a melto instead of the usual two.
Find them at Tesco’s.
Crunchies
There’s a few options you could try here, including M&S’s and Waitrose’s bags of honeycomb pieces which are basically mini versions of the crunchie bar. These are accidentally gluten free, meaning there’s no gluten ingredients listed and no may contain warning for gluten either.
Find them in the normal aisles, not the gluten free sections.
Kitkat’s
For a kitkat switch up, your best bet is probably Tesco’s Free From Wafer bars (multipack) or their Free From Swirly Chocolate Wafers.
While the Wafer bars look the most like a KitKat, I personally think the swirly chocolate wafers taste better! They’re a little more like time-out bars than KitKats, but still.
Try either and see how you get on.
Here’s another article of mine you might like, its called:
Which recipe box company is best when you’re gluten free?
Good morning
I did not realise that there was so much gluten free chocolate on the market.
I found out about 5 months ago that I have celiac so naturally I am quite cautious. Unless it has the celiac symbol or my scanner clears it I am reluctant to buy the product.
I have also found that anything from Aldi i can cannot scan their barcode.Please could anyone advise me.
Thank you
Juanita
Hi Juanita, thanks so much for your feedback and query.
I totally understand why you’d be cautious, especially at the beginning of a new diagnosis of coeliac disease.
I would say that with the scanner, there are an awful lot of products which are yet to be added to the system and this makes it very frustrating for users, especially when (like yourself), you might not be used to reading ingredients labels yet to assess the risk of the product containing gluten yourself and with confidence.
I would suggest that reading up on labels and ingredients would be helpful for you, and perhaps open up more options to you in terms of food choices.
Accidentally gluten free foods, which you may or may not have already heard of, are products which contain no gluten ingredients on the label and also DO NOT HAVE any allergen warnings associated with gluten, such as a “may contain gluten” warning, for example. When a product lacks these two things, we call it accidentally gluten free, meaning it’s fine for someone avoiding gluten to eat.
UK Law is that all products and companies must do their due diligence in reporting ANY risk of cross contamination of allergens, therefore, the lack of a gluten allergen warning in addition to there being no gluten ingredients listed, generally means the product will not contain gluten.
This is how I shop, personally, and I have very rarely encountered problems after consuming a product which is accidentally gluten free. If ever I did, I would keep a note of the product in a small notebook and not purchase again.
Many of the chocolates listed here are those accidentally gluten free products, and I regularly buy and consume many of them with no problems or feelings of illness.
It’s a learning curve, stepping away from the app, but I do believe in education for yourself and reading labels and trusting them, because it massively increases your confidence in understanding your condition and managing it, alongside increasing options when out shopping so you don’t feel that only those expensive, branded gluten free goods are suitable for you.
I have a few articles about increasing knowledge in managing gluten free living, understanding foods you can and cannot eat etc, which might be helpful too. Head to the “knowledge” section on my menu if you do fancy some further reading.
Thanks and I hope this was helpful to you
