Unfortunately, Easter candy can be chock full of both gluten and corn as well as derivatives. There are safe alternatives if you know what to look for. It would be totally unfair to deprive children (and adults). Here are things to look out for.
Jelly Beans. No! Full of corn syrup. Yumearth brand makes natural jelly beans using sugar instead of corn syrup. Available on Amazon.
Chocolate Bunny. Generally ok. Look elsewhere if it uses "barley malt". This means gluten. Also watch out for creamy innards or fancy decorations.
Peeps. Pure corn syrup. I didn't find much on Amazon either.
Egg dyes. Generally ok but I would use Apple cider vinegar for the mixture. If using the distilled white vinegar, some may leach in the egg. Some dyes don't require vinegar. And some kids won't eat the eggs anyhow.
