Rice krispies. I grew up on them. I had 2 favorite cereals as a kid, and this was one! As an adult it continued to be a favorite breakfast - and dinner in a pinch.
But I hadn't had them in 10 years. Not since stripping most gluten out of my diet. (It wasn't until 3 yrs ago that I learned I needed to go completely gf).
Because gluten is everywhere and seemingly in every big brand produced food, no matter what it is, I eat more and more food from the smaller companies. Those companies that safely produce for gluten intolerance (read NO shared facilities). So I was hesitant when I first heard about Kellogg’s coming out with Gluten Free Rice Krispies! Really?!
And then I heard they are using a GF facility! Now I was getting interested.
I was sent a complimentary trial box - and got very excited. You mean I was going to get to eat a childhood staple?! Safely?! Cue nostalgia and teary eyes. Truly.
My first bowl was a bit of an event with sliced bananas and a touch of honey. Once the milk hit the bowl the very familiar crackling started. They looked and sounded the same. My fingers were crossed under the table as I took the first taste… Ahhh. Exactly the same as I remembered. Delicious. So I munched my way thru the bowl, and down memory lane.
Thank you Kellogg’s.
PS- my 5 year old who eats GF too fell in love with them. And a friend who was recently diagnosed with celiac almost cried when I gave her a box. She is thrilled with them and only stopped long enough to say "yummy!"

That is fantastic! My 14 year old son was recently diagnosed with Celiac, he also has severe food allergies. It has been a challenge but we are doing okay so far. Hardest part is when he is hanging out with friends.
