I'm relatively new to gluten free cooking, but didn't think that chocolate had gluten in it. Is it something that is sometimes added, or is it naturally occurring in cacao beans?

Since barley is also off limits that usually eliminates anything that says grain sweetened.. I hope that helps answer your question
