Posted by glutenfree4hfx in General Information, Links on October 12, 2012
When I purchase Hallowe’en candy, I try to buy something that Mike and I both like, in case there are leftovers.

Have a happy and safe Hallowe’en!

Last year, we reported that Fudgsicles are not gluten-free, but that has changed! In the past, every Fudgsicle I had ever looked at (including those from the Popsicle company) had malt extract, which is made from barley.
