Challenge and Creativity!

Our friends Karen & Miles have 3 beautiful children with varying degrees of food allergies- soy, dairy, corn, eggs, nuts (including coconut), gluten - you get the picture. With Easter approaching -another candy holiday (It is 1st and foremost a sacred religious holiday for me as well as Karen & Miles but we live in the real world so for kids of all ages it is also a candy holiday) I decided I would get creative and try to come up with some tasty treats for the Dudgeon children to enjoy for Easter. I found the process fun! I didn't know how successful I would be until after Easter- when the reviews came in - I can report Sucess!! 

Part of the creative process was thinking of ways to package the treats- so they seemed "normal." They need wrappers and labels and names! They needed to be attractive to kids 2-8 years old.

They thanked me & loved them!

I made a snacking gluten free Granola with chocolate (all allergy free) and seeds as well as "candy" balls made from dried fruit, seeds, sunflower butter, cocoa powder & more!!
