[GFCFrecipes] GFCF candy Lee and everyone, With gluten intolerance and allergies to corn, dairy, soy, orange, chocolate, and on and on, there hasn't even been a cough drop much less a piece of candy in the diet for years! At TJ Maxx a couple weeks ago, I found a candy from England, actually labeled gluten free: Uncle Joe's Mint Balls. They are amazing! I bought all three cans in stock and have asked my sister to be on the lookout for them at the store near her (1,000 miles away). Haven't found a US distributor yet but I will keep trying. They're just peppermint oil, cream of tartar, and cane sugar. Within a few days of buying them, a cold and sore throat had me so glad to have them for soothing the throat. They're not " mean mint " like Altoids -- kind of gentler but still a nice, clean minty taste. Maybe if enough of us pester our regular stores to stock them, there will be one more treat for people with multiple food allergies.
