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!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
