Rice Chex Recipes

So now that Gluten Free Rice Chex has made their way to the east coast, we are dutifully doing our duty and eating box after box. :P Today, we made treats (everybody is in ball so I'm a snack producing machine at this moment in time - Yk, they can't remember the last time they had a meal when they play ball ;)

Here's today's recipe

melt/boil 1 cup sugar with 1 cup light corn syrup

add in 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)

mix in 6 cups rice chex

put in 9 x 13 pan and allow to cool slightly and then drop a bag of chocolate chips in

mix well

allow to cool

Messy but sooo GOOD

Next week, I will cut the bag of chocolate to 1/2 and add in a bag of mini marshmellows.

Any other ways to use Rice Chex?? Who's had great hits so far?

I plan to use the pizza recipe on the website next week as well except put into a pan to make bars.

IF this site is any indicator of sales potential , other cereals should be going gluten-free before long. Rice chex sales should be at an all time high! My oldest is dying for kellog frosted flakes.

thanks

Stacie

i like the muddy buddies...if you havent tried those yet.

also if you can thicken the mixture up, you can crush the rice chex and make them like no-bakes. just drop them on wax paper while they cool. sooo good.

i have also made granola bars by breaking them up into pieces and adding gluten-free corn flakes. then add your favorite flavors (mine are pb and choc chips). if you can find a granola bar recipe there is a lot you can do with them.

I take a handful of walnuts and almonds, throw them in a pan with a tiny bit of brown sugar. I toast them for 3-5 minutes. During that time I melt chocolate chips, I use the dairy free kind. Then I take rice chex and honey nut chex and spread them out on a cookie sheet. I mix in the nuts with the chex and drizzle chocolate off a fork on the entire batch. Throw them in the freezer for 10 minutes and you are set. So tasty! And easy to make, almost guilt free snacking =)

Yummy recipes! Muddy buddies are still my fave, but I'm gonna try some of these. I keep envisioning some sort of rocky road something or other that I want to make w/ rice chex. I need to check out their website!

So, is this just like muddy buddies, except for you crush the chex up and make little clusters? that sounds awesome!

yeah you make it basically the same...except you make the chocolate mixture thicker (or you could maybe just use less cereal, i havent tried that way) so it makes little clusters. you can even use the powdered sugar, you just wont use as much. i am a big chocolate fan though and i like the ratio of chocolate mixture to cereal to be higher:) delicious

My family favorite is the "Monkey Munch". Here's the recipe:

1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy style (or permitted nut butter)

1/2 cup margarine , butter or ghee

6 oz chocolate chips

10 cups Rice Chex cereal

2 cups powdered sugar

1. Melt peanut butter, butter, and chocolate chips in a saucepan over medium heat.

2. Pour over cereal, coating all the cereal.

3. Put powdered sugar in large paper bag.

4. Add cereal and shake well until coated.

5. Put on wax paper to cool.

*****

You can also crunch up the chex and put them in meatloaf or use as a breading for oven fried chicken (though we prefer instant mashed potatoes for that!). I also had a friend use the chex to make "rice crispy treats". She just subbed the chex for the rice crispies, and it was awesome! I can't wait to try the things with the new gluten-free chocolate chex and honey chex!!

A chex heads up...Rice, Corn, and Honey Nut chex are now all gluten free!!!! I am munching on a box of honey nut ones at the moment. For the honey nut chex, they took out the barley malt and replaced it with molassas and the corn chex I believe was replaced with rice malt. The front of the box now says gluten free and the back of the box has a wonderful little gluten free tidbit. It says "the irresistible flavor and hearty crunch of honey nut chex is now gluten free. Gluten free means that honey nut chex does not contain gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barely." Exciting stuff!

I make Monkey Munch with cashew/macadamia nut butter or sunflower butter because daughter has a peanut allergy. It's waaaay too sweet for my tastes, but she likes it. Likes it a little too well so I don't make it often.

This is my favorite chex recipe, I was hoping for gluten free strawberry chex to mix with it because I sometimes add in dried strawberries or blueberries:

Tropical Chex Mix

8 cups Rice Chex

When I made them I was thinking they'd be good in a rocky road version too!

They have a section for gluten free recipes and now that the corn chex and some of the others are gluten free alot of these recipes can be made accordingly. Hopefully they will update. Also, with the exception of the wheat chex, alot of the other recipes can be adapted and things substituted. I found this one while looking for things for a halloween party and thought this would be great!

This recipe is excellent. This tastes like a brownie, but it's the consistency of a chewy rice krispie treat. We crushed the Rice Chex slightly to make them smaller and easier to chew for the kids. We only made half the recipe which is a good thing because we'd eat it all...but we put it in a 12x8 pan so it was thinner. We ate some slightly warm because we couldn't wait, and that was great too. Enjoy! Here is the original recipe from the link above:

Ingredients

6 cups of Rice Chex

1 cup of chocolate chunks/chips (make sure gluten-free)

1 pound bag of Marshmallows (any size)

1 1/2 sticks butter

Cooking Directions

Throw the butter in a big pot over low heat until melted.

Add the marshmallows and stir consistently until completely melted (10 minutes or so).

Add the chocolate and the Rice Chex, stir until the cereal is completely coated.

Scoop out the mixture and press into an 8" x 12" pan. Press to compact. Place in fridge to cool.

Once cool, slice into squares and chow down!

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
