Gluten and Dairy Free Treat Perfect for Halloween

 First off, the recipe:

6 cups Cinnamon Cheerios

1 bag 10 oz mini marshmallows (the cheaper the better, will explain why.)

3 table spoons plant based butter


It's pretty simple. Pre-butter or spray a 9 x 13 pan.

Grab a microwave safe bowl. Put the butter and marshmallows in the bowl and microwave for one minute.

Stir the brew.

Microwave for approximately another 30 seconds.

Stir some more and make sure the mallows are melted.

Throw in those cinnamon cheerios and mix it all together.

Pour into the pan and try to smooth it. Good luck with that part. I suck at it.


The cheaper the marshmallows are the better because less expensive ones are more likely to contain artificial ingredients rather than dairy based emulsifiers. So, this is one time that those 99 cent store brand marshmallows are likely going to be perfect for what you need.

These treats are incredibly tasty but just because they are gluten and dairy free it doesn't mean they are healthy. Even Cheerios, on their own, are marginal in their health benefits despite the heart healthy claims in their marketing. Adding the mallows really pushes it into that category of junk food treat best kept away from diabetics and anyone else trying to live past 60.

They're so tasty, though.

Enjoy!
