While these are a little too ambitious for me. I would rather buy them already made...

If you want to make them I am pretty sure the confectioners sugar at Trader Joe's is corn free.

I'm weird because I'm the opposite - I would never buy them but make them myself! They are divine in hot chocolate. :)

Don't get me wrong I prefer home made stuff. I just don't like cooking beyond the basic food stuff for myself. I would love to cook for someone though and cook together.

You can still be opposite to me. :)

There are a lot of guys who couldn't say they've had homemade marshmallows! Awesome. :)

I know what you mean about cooking for someone and cooking together. It would make a tremendous difference. When my husband is away my cooking sometimes gets a touch slacker. Cooking for someone else with love sure adds incentive!

Glad to have you here, BTW. I've been following your posts with interest. Welcome to our fascinating group! :)

Thanks for looking this up for me. :)

I don't mind making my own - due to multiple food issues, I'm in the kitchen all the time. But, sadly, this recipe calls for corn syrup and I'm looking for a corn-free marshmallow. Nevermind - I just read it more closely and saw that her "corn syrup" is mock corn syrup. I'll have to try this! :D

:blink: choke...cough...gag...faint... almost $6 for a bag of marshmallows! I hope I can find a recipe and don't have to drop that much money just to make a batch of cookies that I'll eat in one sitting! But I'm happy to see that I can get some pre-made ones if I'm desperate. Thanks for the link!

The recipe calls for vanila....which is difficult/impossible to find corn free. I wonder if she realized this.

I am so excited to see that I will be able to have rice crispy treats this Christmas!!

You can make your own vanilla easily (it just takes vanilla beans, alcohol and time): Open Original Shared Link

I always make my own - have done brandy, rum and vodka. Although I don't drink much at all, I love all three in vanilla.

I get my vanilla from Whole Foods. It's corn-free.

Our local Krogers didn't have the gluten-free Rice Krispees so I ordered it from the big A online store. They shipped pretty quickly and I got 4 boxes. Haven't tried them yet, though. I moved to my new house this weekend, so I'll have to unpack first.

Disaster - I made the corn-free marshmallows, which turned out so-so. But when I used them with the new gluten-free Rice Krispies, they flopped. The treats tasted stale and weren't crunchy at all. :(

Can you post the marshmallow recipe you used? This is one of the recipes I like (but it contains corn syrup):

I used the one that Richard linked to in Post #2. It calls for "corn syrup" and she links to a recipe for making corn-free "corn syrup" that you'll need to make before making the marshmallows.

Beware that the marshmallow recipe uses "gram" measurements. I had to go and buy a scale so I could do the recipe. That's okay - I needed a kitchen scale anyway. Bought the digital Biggest Loser one at BBB for $20. It was the cheapest one that weighed down to the 1 gm level - suitable for this recipe.

I think the problem for the Rice Krispie Treats was the marshmallows. They weren't the right consistency for the treats. I'll have to keep trying.

I like to measure with a scale by volume, too.

So sorry that your treats did not turn out! On thinking about it again, I do not think that homemade marshmallows would necessarily work in this application BUT they are so worth making for hot chocolate, etc. Were they good to eat on their own?

I wonder if your marshmallow recipe would work with the Open Original Shared Link recipe and substituting arrow-root for the corn starch? You wouldn't need as much arrow-root. It's not a 1-to-1 conversion. That may be worth a try.

Edited to add: if you use this corn-free "corn syrup" recipe, don't cook it to as high of temp as she suggests. She wants you to cook it to soft-ball stage. I went against my better judgment the first time and did that. The syrup was hard - not a liquid - after it cooled. The second time I made it, I didn't let it cook so long. However, I'm wondering if this was my Rice Krispie downfall. Was my ingredient too liquid-y and that's why the marshmallows and treats never "set"? I don't know how I could have used the corn-syrup in a soft-ball state, though... unless I microwaved it to make it a liquid.

I didn't get a chance to try them on their own because I needed all of them for the treats. However, my dd and I did get to lick the bowl as we were making them and they tasted just like the inside of a burnt toasted marshmallow - the gooey inside when you pull off the black crispy outside. Yummmm!

Delicious! I can just taste that now. Some homemade marshmallows are like that; others are easy to cut into squares and are firmer yet airily light.

I wonder if they would turn out better with homemade Marshmallow Fluff instead of marshmallows? Here's a simple recipe I found:

I think the corn-free alcohol list is short, but I do know potato vodka is safe (unless you have issues with nightshades). I haven't made my own yet, despite having purchased the potato vodka at the liquor store and Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans from Amazon.

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Paulyw! So, we need some clarification here because your post is a little confusing. Am I correct in assuming that before you ate the food offered by your client, you were already aware that gluten-containing foods made you ill? And am I correct in assuming that you have never had any formal testing done...

      Hi @knitty kitty just covering back to this topic. I appreciate everyone’s help. Dairy was definitely adding to some of my issues but I wanted to ask about histamine. When I was working with my dietician I mentioned I got a stuffy nose when I was eating strawberries which I had just noticed one day in particular. Once I looked more into this I realized that histamine peaks at night and can cause insomnia exactly as I had been describing before. Working with her I realized while I wasn’t eating a lot of high histamine foods, I was eating a lot of histamine triggering or releasing like bananas (I was having several a day) and strawberries. Also some nights are worse than others but I also discovered meat sitting out even for a day can increase in histamines especially salmon which I eat quite a lot of even though I thought I was getting it fresh. Just wanted to know your thoughts and I’m just curious how this ties into celiac and leaky gut.

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks
