*I have personally tried and enjoyed all of these items. For food products, ingredients and manufacturing practices can always change - always read the ingredients and ask the company if you have any questions. I have received products in this post free of charge and I really enjoyed them, so I wanted to share them with you too. I asked for discount codes so that all of you could enjoy these treats, support businesses with gluten free products, and save some money while gifting. If you have other gluten free products that you think should be featured, comment below or contact me.
