That's why their new Baking Chocolate Snack Packs are perfect for those chocolate cravings. Throw them in your purse, pack them for lunch, or bake up something delicious. Like my "Cupcakes for Two" recipe that is gluten free & top 8 allergen free. Just grab one Snack Pack and follow my easy steps!
Whenever I do any baking, Little Miss stands right beside me helping and eating anything she can get her hands on during the process. If that big bag of Baking Chocolate comes out, her eyes immediately get big and she opens her palms waiting for me to pour some just for her to enjoy. Don't blame her!
Now that I can treat her to her own special pack and surprise her in her lunches, she feels like she's in lunchbox heaven!
They're not just for kids! I love keeping a pack in my purse when I get my own chocolate cravings. Which happens quite often, especially on a busy work day.
Enjoy Life Foods has done such an amazing job supplying the food allergy & gluten free community with free-from snacks & treats: Plentils, Chewy Bars, Cookies, & more. They contain no artificial anything and 46 products are verified by the Non-GMO project.
In the past, we've always kept their products on her teacher's shelf in the classroom in case there were any last minute treats brought in by parents or one was failed to be communicated to me. That way, she always had something yummy and didn't feel left out.
Keeping an Enjoy Life Foods Snack Pack at your child's school is a perfect way to ensure they always have a treat on hand.
For those times when you just need to whip up a quick cupcake (or two), this is my go-to recipe. What's even more perfect, if you have Enjoy Life Foods Baking Snack Packs on hand, one pack is all you need to add chocolatey chip goodness to your free-from cupcakes.

Those cupcakes looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! My little one and I would gladly take these snack packs on outings, use in trail mix, or just enjoy as a snack at home for him, at work in my lunchbox for me. We already do this but this is SO much more convenient than worrying about my Baggie opening in our bag. This recipe is also awesome since my oldest doesn't like chocolate, so this makes enough for me and my little one while my oldest has a carrot cake cupcake!
