In 2012, Nestlé removed artificial colours, flavours and preservatives from its entire confectionery range. You will find this guide divided into two sections: 1) gluten free Easter eggs, 2) gluten and dairy free Easter eggs. This one is listed as gluten free, however note some other shapes and sizes have a may contain warning for gluten. This range looks incredible, hand made Easter chocolates all beautifully decorated and all gluten free. Generously Thick Plant-Powered Orange Choccy Egg with Zingy Orange Flavoured Caramel Flakes, Plusa Bag of Plant-Powered Choccy Orange Buttons.

Plus, some Easter eggs have a ‘may contain’ warning for gluten which makes them unsuitable for Coeliacs and certainly not gluten-free. However there are a couple of gluten AND dairy free Easter products this year which was pleasing to see including a dairy free ‘Chocolate Charlie the Bunny’!

The boxes were available in Milk Chocolate, Salted Caramel and a Mixed Selection (milk chocolate, salted caramel and praline flavours). In 2016, Nestlé publicised the "chocolate egg with bubbly bars" as chocolate firms avoided the word "Easter" in their branding.I will say that there were a lot more ‘may contain gluten’ eggs than last year which was disappointing – definitely check the ingredients on each before purchasing eggs that you’d imagine to be safe might not be.
