Christmas Treats For The Kiddos

What are you all making for the kiddos? I'm looking for EASY, and/or make ahead and freeze and/or semi-homemade as I have only one kiddo and no adults in the house who will be sharing the treats.

We are having popcorn, hot cocoa and Glutino pretzels dipped in chocolate and maybe sprinkles/colored sugar. I found some Baker's brand dipping chocolate in tubs that you can heat in the micro( haven't verified gluten-free, but ingredients looked OK). That's all I can come up with so far.

In the past I have sent Make Your Own Snowman kits to school. Put all the stuff in a ziplock with a small piece of paper typed with basic instructions. Need 3 marshmallows, a few mini choc. chips for eyes and mouth, a few mini colored M&M's(check if they're gluten-free, we did this before kiddo was gluten-free) for buttons, a couple of stick pretzels for arms(and to stabilize-skewer the body sectoins on, if desired), a colorful thin rope candy(some kind of twizzlers-don't know if they're gluten-free)-could sub some fruit leather-for a scarf and some frosting-a Tb. or two-in a snack size ziplock with instructions to snip off the corner to pipe on the "glue".

Twizzlers are not gluten-free.

We don't do a lot of treats here mainly because I don't feel they are necessary. I usually make some chocolates but found a couple of bags of faux Kisses in the cupboard, so I will just use those. Will probably buy a box of Enjoy Life cookies. Then of course candy canes.

I just made these and the kids are loving them.

Melt chocolate or white chocolate chips and stir in Honey Rice Puffin cereal to coat them. Remove them and let them dry. Super good!

(check the cereal though, they say wheat free and not gluten free although I found their website that says they are gluten free. That is questionable maybe?)

Your treats sound great!

Make rice crispy treats - Use the same recipe as you would rice krispys but replace with 11 cups rice chex - Crushed

I add a cup of marshmallows into the mix and about a cup of m&m's you could use the green and red Christmas mix for a party. These taste great!

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
