🎃 Our Top Gluten-Free Halloween Treats 2025 (Australia & New Zealand) 👻
Halloween is meant to be fun, and with a little planning, gluten-free kids (and grown-ups!) don’t have to miss out on the good times! Below is our round up of our favourite safe treats you can pick up in Australian or New Zealand supermarkets. Remember to always check the label (ingredients & “may contain” statements) because formulations can change!
🍬 Goodies You’ll Find Across Australia & New Zealand
If you’re short on time or just want to keep things simple, there are plenty of gluten-free treats that are readily available across major supermarkets in both Australia and New Zealand. These favourites are easy to find, safe for coeliacs, and perfect for filling Halloween treat bowls, lunchboxes, or party platters.
🍫 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
A classic combo of chocolate and peanut butter — and yes, they’re gluten free! These are a hit with both kids and adults, and individually wrapped cups make them ideal for trick-or-treating or portioning out for parties.
🍿 Cobs Popcorn
A go-to for gluten-free snackers. Every flavour in the Cobs range is gluten free, so you can mix and match your favourites or grab one of their variety packs for an easy Halloween treat that’s not all sugar. It’s also a great option if you want something savoury to balance out all the sweets!
☁️ Pascall’s Marshmallows
Soft, fluffy, and gluten free by ingredient — marshmallows are so versatile for Halloween! Use them to make spooky “ghost” cupcakes, top your hot chocolates, or dip them in chocolate and sprinkles for an easy party treat.
🍰 Betty Crocker Gluten Free Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix
Need a quick Halloween baking activity? You can’t go wrong with this one. It’s simple enough for kids to help with, tastes deliciously rich, and can be turned into themed brownies with a drizzle of orange icing or candy eyes.
🛒 Simply Wize (Entire Range)
The Simply Wize brand is completely gluten free — from pasta to snacks and sweets — making it a trusted staple for many gluten-free households. If you can’t find them in your local store, you can order directly from their website for delivery anywhere in Australia and New Zealand.
🎃 Coles (Australia)
Coles have really leaned into the Halloween spirit this year, with a fun variety of themed gluten-free lollies that are perfect for trick-or-treating or party tables. Their Gummy Poisoned Apples, Creepy Body Parts, and Popping Candy Dippers are all gluten free, meaning you can stock up confidently without the worry. These colourful sweets add a spooky touch to any Halloween spread — they look great scattered across cupcake platters, tucked into lolly bags, or used as edible decorations for a haunted dessert board. It’s always worth double-checking packaging before buying, but we love seeing Coles offering such a range of clearly labelled gluten-free options this season!
🕷️ Woolworths (Australia)
If you’re shopping at Woolies, you’ll find plenty of gluten-free goodies to make your Halloween extra fun. The Woolworths Halloween Party Mix is a solid all-rounder — it’s gluten free, comes in themed packaging, and has a good mix of fruity flavours. They also stock a few Trolli favourites that are gluten free by ingredient — we found both the Brite Crawlers and Halloween Sweet & Sour Mixes to be safe options. And for anyone who prefers a cosy night in over trick-or-treating, Aunt Betty’s Gluten Free Chocolate Steamed Puddings are the ultimate warm dessert. Just heat, drizzle with your favourite sauce or ice cream, and you’ve got a Halloween treat that’s more comforting than creepy! Whether you’re hosting friends or handing out treats, Woolies has something for everyone this spooky season.
👻 New World & Woolworths (New Zealand)
Over in New Zealand, the gluten-free Halloween selection is looking just as tempting! From our round-up of local favourites, we found a mix of sweet and savoury treats worth adding to your shopping list. At New World, you’ll spot the delicious Kāpiti Passionfruit & Honey Frozen Yoghurt Ice Creams — creamy, tangy, and gluten free, they’re a refreshing twist for Halloween parties or movie nights. If you’re after something less sugary, Kettle Korn’s Sweet & Salty Popcorn is another great gluten-free option that’s ideal for sharing (or snacking while handing out treats!). Both are available at major NZ supermarkets and are a nice reminder that gluten-free doesn’t have to mean missing out on variety or flavour.
And finally, a few tips to make this spooky season worry-free for kids:
🧙♀️ Know your treats – Many lollies and chocolates are not gluten-free, so check the labels carefully or stick to trusted brands.
🎭 Bring your own party snacks – Whether it’s a school party or trick-or-treating with friends, having a few safe goodies on hand means no one misses out.
👻 Educate friends and hosts – A quick chat before parties helps avoid gluten surprises in snacks, craft activities, or even playdough.
🍬 Create a swap bowl – Let kids trade unsafe treats for gluten-free favourites when they get home — it keeps the fun going and the tummy happy!
