Yeqh like when nestle launched a premium version with no slave labour, they didn't have less slavery overall they just used more slavery-produced chocolate in their other products
You can go back, you just have to convince yourself that you need treats more than those unseen-by-you children need their suffering alleviated. The human brain is surprisingly good at this
If the website is to be believed, you're probably fine. Basically, gluten is not an ingredient in their regular chocolates, but they still share a production line with some gluten products, so there could by tiny trace amounts. If you're just talking about a gluten intolerance or Celiac disease, trace amounts should be tolerable, right? Or do you have a more serious allergy?

You can pay extra to get fair trade certified chocolate that promises the company uses only a little bit of child slave labour, as a snack.

And also the normal amount when it gets hungry later but feels guilty and won't talk about that.

Stealing is a great compromise.

Tony's Chocolonely is the brand you want. Not Blegian, I guess, but still pretty great.

I feel like I Mandela Effect myself.

The secret ingredient to make chocolate taste good is tears of the slave kids harvesting it. /S
