Gluten Free Rice Cereal Treats


Ingredients:
5 cups of Marshmallows (any brand will do)
6 cups of gluten free rice cereal
1/4 cup butter (or butter substitute for dairy free)



I decided to make these rice cereal treats dairy free so I used Earth Balance butter substitute instead of butter. 



You can use any brand of gluten free rice cereal but I used Barbara's brand of Brown Rice Crisps.  They worked perfectly in this recipe!


Directions:
In a large pot, combine marshmallows and butter (or butter substitute).  Cook on low heat while constantly stirring the marshmallows and butter as they melt.  As soon as the marshmallows and butter are melted, quickly add the 6 cups of rice cereal.  Stir vigorously.  Then, pour the marshmallow/cereal mixture into a 9x13" pan and allow to cool.  Cut into small squares and serve!

Soy-Yer Dough: Gluten Free Modeling Play Dough


Are you looking for a fun activity for your little one or perhaps a gift for a gluten free child in your life?  Then you must check out Soy-Yer Dough gluten free and wheat free modeling play dough.  I recently purchased these for my nephew and he loved it!  The 4-pack of Soy-Yer Dough comes in 4 great scents: Red/Strawberry, Yellow/Banana, Green/Mint, and Orange/Orange. The 4-pack includes one small container of each of these scents for $7.95.  You can also purchase individual containers of each scent that are $1.99 each.  If you purchase individual containers, they offer other scents in addition to the 4 that come in the 4-pack.  Soy-Yer Dough has a standard shipping rate of $5.95 for anywhere in the United States.  Soy-Yer Dough knows that many children who are sensitive to gluten may also be sensitive to other allergens and toxins.  Therefore, the Soy-Yer Dough product is: borax free, latex free, dairy free, egg free, gluten free, peanut & tree nut free, and kerosene free.

Soy-Yer Dough does contain soy, however, if your little one is sensitive to soy, they also offer an alternative to their traditional Soy-Yer Dough product.  The soy free version is 100% Soy free, non-toxic, gluten free, and vegan friendly.  Just click Soy-FREE during checkout.  If you check their website often or "like" them on Facebook or Twitter, you can also find out when they have sales and promotions for their products.  

I highly suggest you check out this fabulous product for the gluten free child in your life!
