Sweet Pete's Gluten Free Standards

Sweet Pete's is pleased to offer a wide variety of gluten free sweets. We value our gluten free customers and strive to provide them with delicious, safe products.

Currently, there is no government review process for restaurants that offer gluten free fare. We understand that this lack of policy makes it difficult for consumers to feel comfortable enjoying their favorite gluten free foods.

Sweet Pete's carries a large variety of products. Many of the items available on our candy carousel contain gluten. Since the candy carousel items share scoops, all of the unwrapped products on the carousel are at risk for cross contamination. We keep clean, uncontaminated gummies, gumballs and jelly beans in the kitchen. If gluten is a concern for you please ask our staff to package you product from the kitchen.

All of the chocolate, taffy, ,marshmallow, nougat, lollipops, candy canes, peanut butter products and caramel produced in Sweet Pete's kitchen are gluten free. We only dip gluten free cookies, crackers and pretzels. This helps us prevent any gluten contamination in our chocolate.

Sweet Pete's Raw Dipped Items:
Cookies and Crackers- Kinnikinnick Brand
Pretzels- Snyders Gluten Free or Glutino
Chips- Cape Cod Original

We are committed to serving the gluten free population and will continue to focus on maintaining a safe, gluten free kitchen. Please contact us directly if you have additional questions about our kitchen protocol.

About Me

Peter Behringer
I have worked in the confectionary industry since the age of 14 when my mother founded Peterbrooke Chocolatier. She named the business after my sister Brooke and me. I have long had a passion for making confections. Over the last year, I have enjoyed creating a wide variety of hard candies at home. These included pulled sugar candy canes and cast sugar lollipops. In addition to the hard candies, I also experimented with marshmallow, and jellies. When I purchased marshmallow, lollipops, and other candy, I noticed that they were filled with artificial flavors and colors. Many confections contained high fructose corn syrup and other unnatural ingredients. Increasingly, candy was manufactured in Mexico or China. I believed that consumers deserved better. I believed that consumers deserved pure, simple, sweets made the traditional way with real cane sugar while using natural flavors and colors. It became clear to me that there would be a need for my sweet services! A good friend and now business partner approached me about a neat old house in Springfield –a quaint up and coming Jacksonville neighborhood. Everything just clicked and Sweet Pete’s was born!
