Gluten Free Rice Crispy Treats
At a loss for what to take to summer pitch-ins, rice crispy treats are a great gluten free option to please the kids. We're heading to the end of the year picnic for my kid's school this afternoon, and our requested contribution is a dessert item. Gluten Free Rice Crispy Treats to the rescue! The gluten free version of Rice Crispy cereal is missing the malt flavor of the original, so I add a teaspoon of vanilla to the melted butter/marshmallow mixture before adding the cereal. Just make sure that you use gluten free vanilla. I purchase mine from Costco, and it is clearly labeled gluten free. With this simple addition, nobody will be able to tell these are gluten free. I typically do label my items gluten free though for pitch-ins just in case other guests need gluten free options as well. It's also safer to pre-cut the treats, and put them in individual baggies or wrap them in plastic wrap to prevent cross-contamination as serving utensils tend to migrate from dish to dish at pitch-ins.
