Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
Recently, I made a gluten-free version of the Girl Scout Tagalong cookie, or peanut butter pattties. We had leftover peanut butter filling, so my daughters and I decided to make homemade peanut butter cups, like miniature Reese’s peanut butter cups — naturally gluten-free and naturally delicious!

Gluten-Free Tagalongs, or Peanut Butter Patties
My daughters always have fun selling Girl Scout cookies – who can resist two enthusiastic, cute kids? I’m always so impressed that my younger daughter never complains that she can’t eat Girl Scout cookies, because they’re not gluten-free. This year, we decided to make our own gluten-free version of Tagalongs, or Peanut Butter Patties, so all of us could enjoy them. Continue reading
Mint Fudge: The Easiest Gluten-Free Dessert Ever
Fudge seems rich and decadent, the kind of special-occasion sweet you might have during the holidays, or on a summer trip to the shore. I couldn’t believe how simple this recipe was and how many raves it elicited. Plus, fudge is the easiest gluten-free dessert ever. It has no flour, no eggs, and no special gluten-free ingredients, so just about anyone can make it for their gluten-free or egg-free guests. My kids love mint, so we made mint chip fudge. But if you’re not a fan of mint, this recipe is very easy to vary. No matter how you make it, you’ll be clamoring for more. Continue reading

Most importantly — at least as far as I’m concerned — they are easy to make gluten-free, especially with this killer recipe for Grandma’s best gluten-free brownies ever. Continue reading
Gluten-Free Thin Mint Cookies
This year was my younger daughter’s first year in Girl Scouts. She sold 48 boxes of Girl Scout cookies with enthusiastic endorsements. But, because she has celiac disease and is gluten-free, she has never, ever tasted a Girl Scout cookie, nor will she. I didn’t want her to be left out, so I developed my own recipe for gluten-free Thin Mints, with a tender gluten-free chocolate cookie enrobed in a minty chocolate coating.

Chocolate Chip and Double Chocolate Meringues
There’s something wintry about meringue cookies. They look like pure white mini snowballs that seem so right for the season. With winter hopefully ending soon, it’s time to sneak in a batch of meringues before it’s too late.
Meringues are a great dessert to make for guests, as they are naturally gluten-free. They also make great Passover treats, since all the ingredients are kosher for Passover. To get a chocolate fix, I added chocolate chips and cocoa powder to make double chocolate meringue cookies.

Homemade Chocolate Truffles and Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
For me, Valentine’s Day is all about chocolate. Luckily, most chocolate is gluten-free. In honor of the holiday, the kids and I made homemade chocolate truffles dusted with coconut, cocoa, cinnamon and ground almonds. These sophisticated truffles look complicated but are easy to make — and even easier to eat! We used the extra chocolate to make chocolate-covered strawberries. Yum!
