This will be my second halloween with celiac, and this one sure is looking a whole lot better than the last! Last year I was aboout 4 months into the diagnosse and not looking forward to not eating some of my favorite candies (KitKat, MilkyWay). Now, though, I am feeling better. I will be going trick or treating and you better believe I will be getting A LOT of candy. From Resees to Skittles, I will chow down on all (GF) varieties!
What is up with MilkyWay chocolate bars though? The company insists that the orignail kind contains gluten but MilkyWay Midnight does not. Any idea why that is? From what I can tell (and I have never had MilkyWay Midnight) they are virtually the same bar, but with different types of chocolate. And chocolate is supposed to be GF! Hmm...
Here are a couple different lists that I found of GF candy, but *of course* it is always good to double-check with the manufacturer directly. Happy Halloween!!

Milky Way and Milky Way Midnight are actually two seperate types, its not just the chocolate. MWM is the vanilla version of MW that was actually discontinued back in 1979 when it was originally Forever Yours Bar but was reintroduced in 1989 by popular demand. Here are the ingredients for both:
MILKY WAY® Bar ingredients: milk chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, skim milk, chocolate, lactose, milkfat, soy lecithin, artificial flavor), corn syrup, sugar, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, skim milk, less than 2% milkfat, cocoa powder processed with alkali, lactose, malted barley, wheat flour, salt, egg whites, artificial flavor.
Midnight: Semisweet Chocolate (Sugar, Chocolate Processed with Alkali, Chocolate, Cocoa Butter, Milkfat, Soy Lecithin, Natural and Artificial Flavors)Corn Syrup, Sugar, Skim Milk, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil and/or Palm Oil, Less Than 2% - Butter, Milkfat, Lactose, Salt, Egg Whites, Natural and Artificial Flavor.
However they are made in the same factory, so there is possibility for contamination.
Hope that answers your question. =)
