I was not even hoping that I would find one that I could also eat because it is grain free and so low sugar! Yay, thanks so much Elana! I also had a few suggestions for Halloween candy, even though it is Feb...good ideas for pinatas, and party favors as well, right? I love to get honey sticks from our local beekeeper, and our co-op also sells agave sticks. We have to be careful with chocolates, because sometimes they are sweetened with a gluten malt syrup...always check ingredients...definitely earth balls are not gluten free.

I'd imagine that they would make good treats. I particularly like the pineapple - it's sweet and slightly tangy, just like fresh pineapple!

I was wondering if anyone has one that works well. Thanks. I am struggling to get the proportions right to make a gluten-free flour mix. I was wondering if anyone has one that works well. Thanks.

The coffee shop near my house sells them, and I for one am addicted! For people with younger kids: My neighbour "trades" her little ones' for their treats. She pre buys stuff that is suitable, and when they get home they barter and trade in the more offensive candy for things she's bought. They love it!! She also reads the labels with them so they know what is good and bad (who wants to let a 5 year old eat shellac??) What about organic sesame snaps?
