Ok... so, my son Kaden has an overwhelming amount of food allergies... nuts, eggs, dairy, wheat, yeast, soy, garlic, peas, beef. Yeah, that pretty much limits everything off the shelf.
So, there are days... like yesterday... where he just wanted to eat something "new". Mind you, not only does he have food allergies, but he has these odd moments where he doesn't want to eat what's already in our house. So, I offered to make him some sunbutter oatmeal cookies?... nope, that didn't work... gluten free graham crackers?.... nope, that didn't work. Do you know what he decided? Muddy buddy's which is gluten free and we modified it. You can find the recipe for Chex's muddy buddy's at: http://www.chex.com/recipes/RecipeView.aspx?RecipeId=19919&CategoryId=342.
Ok, so how did we do it? We used Chex's rice cereal (gluten free). We've used ghiradelli semi sweet chocolate chips for the chocolate chips in the recipe, which we've found Kaden can tolerate. And we replaced the peanut butter with sunbutter (http://www.sunbutter.com/), which we purchase from our local health food store.
We let him toss them by himself and he was as happy as could be to have his own treat.
