For dessert I wanted to make on of our favorite recipes, Gluten Free Trail Bars, they are easy to make and are on the healthier side. We have made them for many years now and they are always our go to when it comes to potlucks or holiday functions. The original recipe was found on the inside of a Kellogg's Rice Krispie Cereal box prior to the girl's diagnosis and I have modified it to be gluten free.
You can use any gluten free cereal you would like, I have used Brown Rice Krispies, Nature's Path Flakes, Chex and Cocoa Quinoa Cereal. You can also add a variety of dried fruit, cut up apricots taste really good with or without the chocolate added. We love that these bars are so versatile and they never last very long in our house, hope you enjoy!
