Hello All!! Its been so long since I've posted that I hardly know what to start with! How about, Happy New Year! Its still technically the new year and I think its still allowed right? Since just before Christmas, things have been crazy around here with two boys in hockey, a major holiday, school commitments, etc. Its sometimes hard to come up for air! So I apologize for my blog neglect, and I hope that this doesn't happen again (at least for a long time...).
I'm excited to share this amazing recipe! It happened because I messed up another recipe and didn't realize until I had half of the bars pressed into the Perfect Petites mould. So then I thought, rather than scoop it all out and start again, I'd just give it a go and see what the results would be. Well I'm thrilled to report.... they. are. DELICIOUS! And for a gluten free treat (especially a homemade one) no one else even noticed! They are the perfect consistency, kind of like a granola bar with a soft centre. How EXCITING!! So then I thought to myself, "YAY! Lunch treats!". Except then I thought to myself, "you DOPE! You put pecans in the recipe!". So I'm making the pecans optional and saying use either that or double the dried fruit for gluten free, nut free yumminess!
St. Patrick's Day is a school day this year!! YAY!! I hope that I'm going to be able to make one of these treats below to send with the boys to school. It will be an exciting day as its the first day back from March Break. I can't believe how fast this week is going by. Its almost over & I'm sad!
I'm thinking that maybe Sunday I will try to get treats made, and maybe make it a team effort and the boys can help... It will be a fun way to end the weekend and they will (hopefully) be just as excited as I will be to send some fun treats to school!
Some weeks around here are crazier than others. This week we survived one sick boy (and managed to prevent the others from catching it!). After all the love and snuggles and extra cleaning/laundry, I'm feeling wiper out! I decided that the best way to curb this feeling, is to find a bunch of yummy gluten-free desserts to share. I hope to find the motivation to make something tomorrow. I think it will be nice to have a delicious dessert for Valentine's Day, and who doesn't love eating yummy things to celebrate a rough week??
Speaking of gluten free treats, did you see the Gluten Free Chocolate Cookie recipe that I posted? They are DELICIOUS! Big hit here!
I'm sharing the best 10 recipes I could find, and I am feeling super motivated to try most of them!
Today I'm sharing these delicious and adorable Valentine's gluten-free treats that are perfect for sending in to the classroom with the kiddies. They are easy to make, fun to decorate, and they look super cute!
I used a cheater method for the cookies. You can use any recipe for chocolate cookies. I chose to make mine with a gluten-free cake mix. Very simple. 6 ingredients. Bake. Go.
Here's the recipe for the cookies!
