Gluten-Free Snacks

Here's a few of our current favorite gluten-free snacks:

GLUTINO: Gluten Free Pretzels These little mini pretzels really do taste almost identical to their wheat counterparts. They're crunch and salty and nicely browned. Oh, they are also delicious with caramel and chocolate.


HOT KID: Baby Mum-Mum Original Rice Rusks These are really unusual but good in that unique way that surprises one. These are light and airy like the puff noodles one can get at some Asian restaurants with a slight sweet taste. These are also rather inexpensive as far as gluten-free snacks go and they're great for traveling since they come in convenient two packs. You just have to get over the fact that you're snacking on a baby teething cracker.

GENSOY: Soy Crisps Deep Sea Salted Of the three treats featured here, this was the easiest to find. We've tried some of the other soy crisp flavors but only really like the Deep Sea Salted variety. These are quite similar to rice cakes in looks and texture and even taste.
