You will be seriously surprised and thrilled to see some of your favourite sweets including Starbursts, Skittles, Haribo Gold Bears, and more are, in fact, gluten-free – happy days!
Note: Please always double-check the packaging regularly because product ingredients can change without warning.
For now, we will take you through our top 10 favourite gluten-free sweets:
1. Chewits
Chewits is a brand of cuboid, soft but chewy sweets manufactured since 1965. You get a variety of different flavours which are individually wrapped, perfect for sharing with friends and family.
All Chewits and Chewits Xtreme sweets are gluten-free, so pick your favourite flavour and tuck in! My favourites are strawberry and fruit salad flavour.
2. Skittles
Skittles are gluten-free! As well as gelatin-free and vegan. So get ready to taste the rainbow.
3. Love Hearts
Love Hearts are hard, round-shaped sweets with short, love-related messages on one side of the sweet. They are vegetarian, gluten-free, vegan, and nut-free! So you can spread the love without worry!
4. Starburst
Starburst is the ultimate sweet treat and luckily they turned out to be both vegan and gluten-free. They are box-shaped fruit flavoured soft chews. You get blackcurrant, orange, strawberry, and lime flavours which are all individually wrapped so you can share a bag or enjoy individual packets.
5. Haribo Gold Bears
Haribo Gold Bears are gluten-free but the classic Haribo Gummy Bears contain glucose which is derived from wheat, so be aware of this! Fortunately for us, the majority of Haribo products aregluten-free which is a sweet lover’s dream.

6. Flying Saucers
One of Britain’s most classic sweets, the flying saucer! When we pop them in our mouths we are instantly transported back to our childhood.
Made with edible rice paper, the exterior is coloured but has no flavour and the inside is a small amount of sherbet that has a sweet taste and explodes on your tongue, exciting your taste buds.
7. Millions
Tiny, little balls of sweetness! We love to pour handfuls in our mouth at a time and chew away to enjoy all the fruity or flavoured juices!
You get lots of different flavours including Cola, Strawberry, Apple, Blackcurrant and they are all gluten-free. They are tiny but grab a big handful and you will be more than satisfied.
8. Barratt Milk Bottles
The original Milk Bottle sweets, chewy but creamy milk sweet with a dusting coated on the outside. They are gluten-free and one of my personal favourite sweets.
Barratt’s Milk Teeth and Strawberry Milkshakes are also gluten-free.
9. Mentos
The yummiest brand of minty chews if you ask me. Mentos have a hard outside but the inside is soft and chewy. They are a staple in most UK supermarkets and vending machines.
All of the below options are completely GF:
- 3 Fruit Chewing Gum
- Gum (except spearmint)
- Mentos Fruit
- Mint Chews
- Mint Crumbles
- Nowmints
- Choco caramel
10. Percy Pigs
The Marks & Spencer staple – Percy Pigs are gluten-free! Every time I pop into M&S, I have to grab a bag, it would be rude not to, they call out to me! Made with real fruit juice and no artificial flavourings, oh and they are shaped like little piggy faces!
Warning: these are very moreish, and great shared with friends and family.
