Marshmellows And Chocolate

[Kellygirl]

Hi all,

With all the reading I have done and all the products that I have managed to find I still don't know if Marshmellows are gluten free or chocolate. I managed to find a bag of chocolate chips that said may contain traces of nuts, milk or soy so I imagine that if they listed those ingredients as a "MAY CONTAIN" then they would have listed wheat as well - to cross check this I just looked for something else the company made that would have wheat in it and it had wheat listed as a "May Contain" item. So I am pretty certain that the chocolate chips are all right but what should I be looking for on Marshmellows and just regular chocolate bars. You need to understand that when I have a hard core sugar craving I like to split a marshmellow in half and put peanut butter and chocolate on it.

If anyone knows about marshmellows please let me know. The bag doesn't say, but what makes them not stick together? If nobody knows maybe I will write to the companies and ask.

Thanks all,

Kelly

Yes, marshmellows generally are gluten free. But never put anything in your mouth without reading the labels. Enjoy!

You just made my day I have a camping size bag out in the kitchen but didn't want to open them until I was absolutely sure. Have been gluten free for 2 weeks now and the only symptoms I still have are the headaches - allergy related and the bloated belly.

Not really caring about the bloated belly right now. WANT MARSHMELLOWS and peanut butter. Does anyone else really CRAVE food? I always do. Usually it's veggies but the last 2 weeks it's peanut butter and marshmellows.

The only one I've bought since going gluten free is Kraft since they are meticulous about labelling. I have not had issues with them.

I'm psyched too - I just found a puffed rice cereal that is CHEAP and says glutenfree right on it! Hoping to try making rice crispy treats from it. i know it'll be a little different...but close is better than not at all! (and I don't want to pay $4 for a box of cereal just for marshmallow treats!).

Hi there,

I have the easiest and YUMMIEST recipe for homemade, fluffy marshmallows (and if *I* say they're easy, believe me, they are, as I HATE to cook!), pm me if you would like the recipe!

I am going to make Trix cereal bars with gobs of marshmellow. If they don't work then the Dora the explorer cereal will do and I will add one cup of peanut butter, a wack load of marshmellows and chocolate drizzle after they are done.

Who said this disease sucks, I am having a blast making treats and for once in my life I don't feel guilty making them because I am doing it to save my health. Isn't that irony, I spent my whole teen years watching all the fats, calories, sugars, starches. Now in my 30's I am eating all the stuff I avoided just to stay sain and feel like a normal person.

OH and just so everyone knows the recipe for peanut butter brownies is the BEST. CAUTION: Eat on an empty stomach with several napkins at hand. I am ashamed to admit I ate have of a batch for breakfast with a pot of coffee one morning. Gave me a whole new look at my workout routine. How do you burn off about 3000 in an hour???

Oh well you only live once, might as well enjoy the small pleasure, next time however it will be in a smaller dose.

Have a good weekend everyone and happy mother's day to all the Mom's out there.
