A quick note on Gluten-Free candy: Some regular candies are gluten-free, but be cautious around the holidays! For examples, Reese’s usually marks their peanut butter cups as gluten-free, but during seasonal production (like pumpkins and trees), that label might be missing because of cross-contamination risks. Always check those labels carefully, and when in doubt, give the manufacturer a ring!

Jelly Belly Jelly Beans – Gluten-free, peanut-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian-friendly!
