No, chocolate does not contain gluten.
If you are a celiac, the gluten which affects celiacs is the protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and triticale. It is typically found in oats, too, due to cross-contamination in wheat sources. Even if you are not a celiac, you really don't have to be concerned.
Chocolate is a completely different plant. It is not a grain, like the plants listed above, and its 'fruit' is in bean form. It's from this that chocolate candy is made.
Certain candies may contain wheat components. There are some candy bars, for instance, which have cookies or cookie bits in them. THOSE would most likely have gluten.
The purer the chocolate you purchase, the less chance of contamination.
To digress a bit, I myself am not only a celiac, I am also highly allergic to dairy and corn, as well as all parts of the wheat (there is a difference between having a gluten intolerance and a wheat allergy! HUUUGE difference! Celiac/ gluten intolerance would cause stomach issues - like vomiting or "other" issues; an allergy can cause anaphylactic shock!) I purchase the Lindt 80 - 90% cocoa bars because they do not contain wheat or dairy, nor corn syrup as many candies do. They are a bit more expensive but you need far less to satisfy a chocolate craving!
So, no - chocolate DOES NOT contain gluten. If you have more questions about celiac, Allergies, or chocolate, I am not an expert, but having lived with extensive food allergies my whole life, I can at least answer a few questions on the topic!!

∙ 13y agoYes - That was a silly question (that answer was provided by someone else) The correct answer is below:
Update - Actually, that's not a true statement.
Some commercially prepared chocolates (compound and coatings) might contain some type of gluten product as a binding agent. You need to get the correct answer for each product from the manufacture of that product. Never assume.

Is chocolate pudding gluten free?
It is impossible to access whether all chocolate puddings are gluten free because they may be produced in a facility that contains wheat gluten. However, Soyummi Dark Chocolate Pudding is a brand you can trust to make gluten free foods. In fact, they produce their snacks in a dedicated gluten-, egg-, dairy-, lactose-, peanut-, and tree nut-free facility, so you can trust that their puddings will be safe for those with celiac disease or who are on a gluten free diet for another reason, like an allergy or intolerance.
