My 3 year old daughter has severe food allergies and can never have the traditional cookies, cakes and candies. I discovered that we could make wonderful rice krispie treats that were wheat, soy, egg and nut free!! We have made them into hearts for Valentine's, pumkins for fall, turkeys for Thanksgiving, and soon to be stars for Christmas. I would have never guessed how one snack could become such a treasured family tradition!
