Halloween is just around the corner, and whether you're stocking up for trick-or-treaters, planning a spooky movie night or putting together a Halloween party, there's no shortage of fun treats to enjoy gluten-free!
We've rounded up some Halloween goodies worth looking out for across Australia and New Zealand, including supermarket favourites, spooky lollies and a few easy party treats.
A quick reminder: Product ingredients and allergen information can change, so always check the current packaging before buying or eating, particularly if you're shopping for someone with coeliac disease. Some of the products below have been identified as gluten-free by ingredient in recent shopping guides, rather than carrying a gluten-free claim.
🍬 Everyday Gluten-Free Favourites
You don't need Halloween-themed packaging to put together a brilliant treat bowl! Some familiar favourites worth checking out include:
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups: A chocolate and peanut butter favourite. Check the specific variety, particularly seasonal editions.
Cobs Popcorn: A savoury option for Halloween parties or movie nights. Look for the gluten-free labelling on your chosen flavour.
Pascall Marshmallows: Perfect for making spooky marshmallow ghosts, chocolate-dipped treats or decorating cupcakes.
Betty Crocker Gluten Free Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix: An easy option for Halloween baking. Add orange icing, spooky decorations or a few chocolate spiders!
🎃 Coles (Australia)
Coles has brought back some fun Halloween-themed confectionery for 2026, with several options worth checking out if you're shopping gluten-free.
Keep an eye out for:
Gummy Body Parts
3D Gummy Skulls and Eyeballs
Gummy Sour Fangs
Halloween Milk Chocolate Eyeballs
Sweetman's Zombie Chews, labelled gluten-free
These are great for adding a spooky twist to treat bowls, party bags or Halloween dessert platters. Just remember to check the packaging for the specific product you're buying.
🕷️ Woolworths (Australia)
Woolworths is another handy stop for Halloween treats, even if you're not looking for something specifically spooky.
Alongside its Halloween Party Mix, it's worth checking the confectionery aisle for suitable varieties of Trolli lollies, Reese's chocolates, Chupa Chups and individually wrapped chocolate treats.
For something a little different, why not make a Halloween dessert board with gluten-free brownies, marshmallows, popcorn and your favourite sweets?
👻 Big W, Kmart & Spotlight
It's not just the supermarkets getting into the Halloween spirit!
Some of the Halloween treats highlighted in Australian gluten-free shopping guides this year include:
Big W: Scary Bones Lollipops, Halloween Party Mix and Warheads All Mixed Up.
Kmart: Trolli Tarantula Spiders and Warheads Spooky Sour Mix.
Spotlight: Vampire Blood Pops, Spooky Eyeballs and Gummy Fangs.
Availability varies between stores, and not every Halloween product is gluten-free, so make sure you check the ingredients and allergen statements before adding them to your basket.
👻 🇳🇿 Gluten-Free Halloween Treats in New Zealand
Halloween is growing in popularity across New Zealand, and there are plenty of ways to join in without gluten.
Whether you're shopping at Woolworths, New World, The Warehouse or your local supermarket, look out for clearly labelled gluten-free popcorn, confectionery, chocolates and baking mixes.
If you're putting together a Halloween party, you can also create a spooky snack board with gluten-free popcorn, fruit, marshmallows and homemade chocolate treats.
For trick-or-treating, individually wrapped products with clear ingredient information are particularly useful.
🧙♀️ A Few Tips for a Gluten-Free Halloween
🍬 Check the packaging: Even familiar brands can have different ingredients across flavours, varieties and seasonal releases.
👻 Choose individually wrapped treats: They're easier to identify, particularly when kids are swapping sweets or bringing treats home.
🎭 Bring a few favourites: If you're heading to a Halloween party, packing some gluten-free goodies ensures there's something to enjoy.
🎃 Create a Halloween swap bowl: Let kids exchange any unsuitable treats for their favourite gluten-free goodies when they get home.
Happy Halloween from Coeliapp! 💚
