Gluten is a protein found in many wheat, rye, and barley products, and that can really put a damper on your sweet tooth if you're allergic or have Celiac disease. But thanks to rising requests for gluten-free treats, candy companies are taking note.

This list of gluten-free products is perfect for those extra-sweet times of the year like Easter, Halloween, and Christmas. But, they're also perfect for stashing on your desk or setting next to the office coffee pot.

Here's the ultimate gluten-free candy list, including new varieties plus some old favorites.
