I bought dark-chocolate dipped marshmallow lollipops (easy to make, but I

was in a rush) for Christmas stockings, and they were a big hit with the

kids.

I just checked tonight, and one of my local sources for white (dye-free)

candy canes doesn't have them this year.

Same store had whey in this year's brand of chocolate covered cherries, but

I have seen one brand that didn't (maybe at Target in prior years?)

If your child tolerates egg whites, Divinity fudge is available ready-made,

and there are recipes for it, too. It is a white fluffy fudge with nuts in

it, and no chocolate.

Peeps ( those Easter marshmallow bunnies and chicks, etc.) also make a

snowman at this time of year.

I saw a non-gfcf idea that would be easy to copy. A feed store was selling

" s'more kits " and the grandma in line next to me was buying them. A little

box with marshmallows, graham crackers, chocolate wafers, all wrapped in a

bandanna ribbon. My seven year old LOVES having fires in the fireplace, and

roasting marshmallows is a major treat for him...

I've found some candy that contains isomalt and another kind that

contains maltitol syrup, does anyone know is these are GF. The

word " malt " sounds suspicious.

Thanks in advance.
