Gluteenittomat Pääsiäismunat
Posted: March 21, 2022 Updated: April 1, 2023
Last year my friend gluten-free Marja said to me, “you’ve found so many good Easter eggs in Australia.” I jokingly replied, “Do you want a Finnish list?” She said yes so I spent the evening looking up Finnish Easter eggs that are gluten free (gluteenittomat pääsiäismunat).
A couple of hours after finishing my list I actually came across a Gluteenittomat Pääsiäismunat list by the Finnish Coeliac Society, Keliakialiitto. It is very comprehensive, however, there are many more on my list than theirs. The other bonus is my list has pictures. This has been updated with new products for 2023!
Check out my list below. Important things to note, I’ve not included any products that list a ‘may contain’ (saattaa sisältää) however I have included products that list gluten-free oats – a few Dammenberg items have this.
Like my Aussie Easter egg list I’ve grouped the chocolates by brand so it’s easier to search. I also have a miscellaneous group at the end. While I’ve written this article in English I’ve kept the product list in Finnish so it’s easier for gluten-free Finns and coeliacs to find it via Google Search.
Huom! If you’re out and see more great gluten-free Easter chocolate that should be on this list please let me know! Message me on Instagram kati_keksi or find me on my Facebook page! If you can include a photo of the ingredients that will be very helpful.

The Fazer mignon egg is the most classic well-known of the Finnish Easter eggs and has been made since 1896. A real egg shell is emptied, cleaned and then filled with a rich almond and hazelnut nougat before it is sealed with a hard sugar stopper. You can watch a video of them being made on YouTube.

Independent chocolatiers
Across Finland there are many small batch chocolate producers, some of which make gluten-free products but won’t be found in the major supermarkets. Rather that list their items I will write a short blurb about each one I’ve come across.
Petris Chocolate has a cafe in Matila and shop in Porvoo. They also have a studio at the Design Hill in Halikko where you can see chocolate being made. Petris have a section on their website dedicated to special diets which includes many Easter goodies including bunnies, hens, filled eggs as well as gift baskets.

Many Lindt chocolates are not safe due to the presence of barley malt extract (ohramallas) in the ingredients. Plain dark chocolate by Lindt is usually free of barley malt however I have only seen it for sale on the S Group website.
