I work in Hershey and I know a guy who work for hershey co and I posed a question to him about this one time. This is what he speculated about this:
Regular Reeses are made at the Reeses plant in hershey. This plant only makes a limited amount thing, probally all gluten free items. The other sizes are made at other plants, and those plants can be mixed with gluten containing products as well as the reeses. This seems to make sense, however I know at the main plant in hershey (called 19 East), they make kisses and kitkats and dark chocolate all in the same plant, but on different days. (I know this because I drive by it on my way home and I can just SMELL what they make everyday!)
Granted this is all speculation from a guy who works in sales at hershey, not actually making the chocolate, so he's not offical or anything, but it made sense to me.
All varieties of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are gluten-free except seasonal shaped items (i.e. Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs). NOTE: Double check to make sure your Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are made by Hershey
Hershey

Yes, all Reese's are gluten-free, including with the exception of seasonal Reese's varieties. If you check the ingredient label, you'll see that Reese's are made with naturally gluten-free ingredients like milk chocolate, lecithin (soy), peanuts, sugar, dextrose, salt, TBHQ, and citric acid (to maintain freshness).
Sadly, Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs are listed as not gluten free, thanks to the fact they're processed on the same equipment as items that contain gluten, according to Hershey's. In fact, all of Reese's seasonal shaped items as well as Reese's Pieces Eggs can not be considered gluten free.
While Reese's Puffs Cereal is not gluten-free, the puffs utilized as an ingredient in the REESE'S Big Cup with REESE'S Puffs are gluten-free and were manufactured as such to maintain the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup gluten-free claim status. We hope this helps!
Reese's claims their product is gluten free, which I can only assume follows the “under 20 ppm” rule that the FDA claims they need to follow in order to claim to be gluten free. However, if you're a celiac, please beware.
The following Mars candies have no gluten-containg ingredients: M&Ms (except pretzel, crispy, and potentially seasonal items) Milky Way Caramel Bars (not the original Milky Way Bar) Snickers Bars.
Candies with cookie pieces or crispies often contain wheat flour and should be avoided. This means no candy bars like Twix, Kit Kats, 100 Grand, Crunch or even Milky Way. This also includes Whoppers as they are made with malt. Believe it or not, licorice is another common culprit for accidental gluten consumption.
