Chocolove
A few years ago I came across Chocolove’s Pretzel in Milk Chocolate bar and was so surprised to see that it was gluten-free. Since then I’ve loved this brand. I reached out to see what other products are gluten-free, including their Valentine’s Day chocolates. This is the response I got:
Sweethearts
Hershey’s

Cookies & Other Yummy Treats
Sweet Loren’s
Cookies Con Amore
I first came across Cookie Con Amore’s Gluten-Free Raspberry Linzer cookies early last year right around Valentine’s Day and they were the perfect cookie! I found them at Homegood’s, which surprisingly has a decent selection of gluten-free items.
I came across this recipe, Gluten-Free Valentine Chex™ Party Mix from Betty Crocker, as I was writing this post and it looks delicious! I will definitely be making it for Valentine’s Day.
Other Gluten-Free Valentine’s Day Products
A note on some popular Valentine’s Day candies.
Russel Stover: As a celiac I do not feel comfortable consuming their products, based on the following statement on their website under FAQs
There are lots of different brands of chocolate boxes out there. Some may be gluten-free, but most are not. Always check the package for any gluten-containing ingredients or claims. You can also find out more information on a companies website or by contacting them directly. I find most companies respond pretty quickly. Before heading out to the store to buy one, check online first and contact the company if needed to save yourself a trip!
If you’d like personalized support beyond general advice, I offer virtual celiac nutrition counseling.
