Hard Time Finding Something

[mcs1984]

My son loves cheese it, and the other day at school his teacher came and told me that at snack time he was snicking them off the napkins of his friends. She told him to go spit them out but still dont know how many he really did eat. So my question is has any one found or had a gluten-free cheese it? He is only 4 and we have been doing this for about 12 weeks now he understands but at the same time he doesn't understand. Whats a mommy to do?

while not the same size as cheeze itz, glutino has a cheddar cracker: Open Original Shared Link

The book gluten free baking classics has a cheese puff recipe - i havent tried it because we dont do dairy any more (/cry) but it might be worth checking out. It looked more like a cracker, i think

I haven't tried any of them yet, but I've seen several recipes for just such a thing posted. Try searching for cheese cracker recipe and goldfish recipe.

My son likes the Glutino Cheddar, but they aren't as cheesy tasting as Cheese-Its and they are round and about the size of a Ritz.

We make crackers from Chebe mix and cheddar cheese. We cut them in shapes with cookie cutters like goldfish, Mickey Mouse...you could easily do little squares. The taste is not exactly like Cheeze Its or Goldfish, but my daughter likes them. I send them into school when they have crackers as a snack.

has a recipe called "Mock Cheese Crackers", made with red lentils if you can find them. Maybe you could sprinkle into the dough some Kraft cheese in the blue can. I never tried it yet but under "baking" somewhere it was posted that they use it for mac & cheese. I bet your son would love to help you make them and while doing so you could talk to him about the whole gluten-free subject. He would be proud . You could call them "his crackers" b/c he made them.

What about the Blue Diamond Nut Thins? They have a cheese flavored one now. It isn't a cheese it, but they are really good!

And this one my son loved when we were weaning him off a goldfish crackers; they satisfied that craving:

I tasted them, too. The texture is a little lighter than a cheeze-it or goldfish cracker, but the taste is very similar.

We've done the Chebe bread crackers, too, and boy are they tasty on the first day. But they go stale almost immediately.
