Chex Scotcheroos

Would you believe I'm actually starting to have a little fun with this gluten-free thing? I just get so excited when I find out something I know I like is gluten-free! I found this awesome recipe at Yammies Gluten Freedom and have absolutely fallen in love with her site! It's like all of my "WHY MEEEEEEE! THIS IS TOO HAAARRRDDD" prayers were finally answered when I found her. I spent way too long her site ignoring my screaming child throwing a tantrum on the floor because one of her socks wasn't on right.

Really, though. Who wouldn't love these? Gluten or not, they are delicious. And I feel like I could say the name over and over. It's so cute. SCOTCHEROOS! Scotcheroos. SCOTCHerOOOOOsss! Even though I admit that in the time between when I saved the recipe and actually made the recipe I was calling them "scootcheroos." Whoops.

What you will need:

• 6 C Chex cereal 
• 1 C corn syrup
