Crisps

Wotsits

Look for supermarkets own brand “Cheese Puffs” in the normal aisle. Most are gluten free.

---

Pringles

(1) Schar Curvies (original, bbq) (2) Lidl/Aldi own brand “Snacktastic” (original, salt and vinegar, sour cream)

---

Doritos

Look for supermarkets own brand “Tortilla Chips” in the normal aisle. Most are gluten free.

---

Walkers

(1) Loads of own brand regular crisps taste pretty similar – Seabrooks is one of my faves (2) If you want the real deal you need to get yourself from “Lays” from abroad – the European brand name for Walkers and comes with no may contain warning

---

Monster Munch

(1) Lidl or Aldi own “Monster Claws”, (2) Asda Trolls Rock Strings, (3) You could also try “Onion Ring” crisps for a similar flavour – Tesco Free From or Morrisons Free From

---

Hula Hoops

(1) Lidl own ‘Potato Hoops’, (2) Asda “Potato Loops”

---

Nik Naks

Well & Truly Crunchies are the closest in texture although not quite the same taste

---

Skips

Tesco Prawn Shells (most other supermarket own brands are a “may contain”)

---

Frazzles

(1) Lidl & Aldi own “Bacon Rashers”, (2) Waitrose “Essentials Bacon Rashers”, (3) Sainsbury’s “Bacon Crispies”, (4) Asda “Bacon Bites”

---

Sensations

Kettle Chips have a similar flavour and crunch. The Sunday Lunch Roast Chicken is almost identical to the Sensations one!!

---

Quavers

(1) Definitely not a perfect swap but try “Eat Real” (specifically the sour cream lentil curls) (2) You can also get similar supermarket own brand lentil curls

---

Walkers Max Paprika

There’s nothing quite like it so I’ve found two crisps with a paprika taste (very rare apparently!!) (1) Tyrrells Smoked Paprika (2) Well & Truly paprika crisps (love these!)

---

Chipsticks

(1) Tesco Ready Salted Potato Chips (2) Asda Ready Salted/Salt & Vinegar/Beefy Potato Sticks (3) Morrisons Beef Potato Sticks

*Careful with this one – lots of supermarket own brands were a main contain and the other flavours at Tesco contained barley.

---

Mini Cheddars

I’m told none of these are perfect but they satisfy a craving! (1) Prewetts Mini Cheese Biscuits (2) Nairns Cheesy Oat (3) Asda Free From Cheese Crackers

---

Chocolates

Ferrero Rocher

(1) Schar ‘Tempties’ (2) ‘Baci Latte Milk Fine Chocolate Truffles’ in Sainsburys and Tk Maxx (3) Ferrero Rocher Shooting Star

---

Maltesers

(1) Schar ‘Delishios’ (not quite the same unfortunately!) (2) Lindt “Billes Ours” (only available in France… im yet to find a way to get them here!!)

---

Lindt truffle balls

(1) Lindt balls you can have: white & the strawberries and cream flavour. The rest are a may contain, despite misleading info on their website (2) If you want Milk Choc Truffle Balls: Aldi (haven’t seen these in a while but come in a red box) and M&S own. (3) Please note: Poundland used to have a version too but its now a may contain!!!

---

Twix

(1) Schar ‘Chocolix’ (2) Twix Chocolate Spread (3) Prewetts Chocoful Caramel (more of a digestive base but good!)

---

Milky Way

(1) MilkyWay in Poundland – comes in different flavours – salted caramel, lemon and raspberry – so not exactly the same but has a similar texture and hopefully satisfies a craving (2) Milkyway stars – I know its not the same but its the same chocolate so you get the after taste! (3) 3 Muskateers is the US equivalent and seems to be gluten free but Im yet to get my hands on one yet so if you find one, let me know for sure! You can purchase one here americancandyco.co.uk

---

Oreos

(1) Most supermarkets have an own brand version in the free from aisle (2) The US now has a gluten free ‘real’ Oreo which you can buy online from ifoodsuk.com or American Fizz online (both very expensive – the supermarket ones are good enough!)

---

Kinder Bueno

Schar Melto tastes reaally similar

---

KitKat

(1) Wait until Easter/Christmas and stock up on Kitkat Bunnies/Santa (2) Lots of supermarket free from aisles have some form of “Chocolate Wafer”

---

Milkybar

Wait until Easter and stock up on Milkybar eggs and sometimes the small Easter eggs don’t have the may contain label either

---

Crunch Bar

The white one is gluten free so have that! (Blue/Milk isn’t gluten free) – always double check this one as some of the imported Crunch bars have different ingredients

Smarties

(1) Aldi DairyFine ‘Choc Um’s’ – these haven’t been around my local Aldi for months but I’m told they havent been discontinued so hopefully they’ll be back! (2) Not the same but some people replace them for M&Ms

---

Toffee Crisp

(1) There is something coming out from “We Love Cake” called “Crunch and Crisp” (2) Here’s my Gluten Free Toffee Crisp recipe (3) M&S Free From Crispy Bites

---

Biscuits & Sweets

Animal Biscuits

(1) Morrisons Free From Animal Biscuits (2) Asda Free From Animal Biscuits (3) Zoo Imagination in Tesco free from aisle

---

Haribo Strawberry Pencils

Haribo Balla Stixx in the Coop’s and Morrisons free from aisle (often laid down in boxes so can be difficult to spot!)

Lexi Treats – loads of flavour options. Available online

---

Ice Cream Cones

(1) Tesco Free From Waffle Cones (2) Eskals Gluten Free Cones (hard to get hold of!)

More??

If you’ve got any more products you’d like a replacement for, please send me a message on Instagram or email me on jessicaskitchen-gf@outlook.com

Sadly, here’s a list of sweet things I’m not sure you can get a replacement for:

• Corona – I’m told Corona light might be gluten free but haven’t found it myself yet so can’t confirm!
• Squares – Walkers salt and vinegar squares have a may contain so no good for coeliacs. Can’t find a good alternative!
