A Gluten-Free Dessert Package Giveaway

I was so happy when the postman dropped off a giant box for me. It was full of gluten-free Betty Crocker dessert mixes just in time for the holiday weekend - courtesy of My Blogspark. The best part, aside from eating the goodies, is I get to give an identical package away to my U.S. readers. I apologize that I can't include you all. The mixes are only available in the U.S. Even thought right on the side of the box it says Product of Canada?! You can find out more about these gluten-free mixes on the Betty Crocker website.

Here is what My Blogspark says about the mixes:

"Betty Crocker® Gluten Free Dessert Mixes are making their way onto grocery shelves this summer. There are four new dessert options - all made in a gluten-free processing facility.

As I´m sure you know, until now baking for yourself or a loved one who has celiac disease often meant preparing two kinds of sweet treats for one gathering - one for the gluten-free eater and another for everyone else. Also gluten-free mixes were often difficult to find and required a separate trip to a specialty grocery store. With the easy-to-find Betty Crocker Gluten Free Dessert Mixes, you can once again enjoy - and share - these sweet moments and desserts with everyone.

And, gluten free is tasty too - these new mixes create a sweet treat that´s truly delicious from everyone´s perspective, even those who do not follow a gluten-free diet."

First up is the chocolate chip cookie mix. I've baked gluten-free before and it's not an easy task. I've had lots of failures. Crumbly, dry, funny-tasting, and sunken, to name a few. The flours and ingredients are expensive and sometimes hard to find. I gave up gluten for five months last year right before starting this blog. I was having some issues that I thought were related to gluten/wheat. By the fourth day without I felt remarkably better. After five months I slowly started adding gluten back in small amounts without any ill effects. But back to the cookies. They bake up thin, soft, and crispy at the same time. I was surprised at how delicious they are. They have a nice flavor. If you gave me one without telling me it was gluten-free I wouldn't have a clue. These would of been heaven-sent during those five months without. My Dad and Mom both liked them, too, and my Dad eats Chocolate Chip Cookies almost every day of his life. The real test will be the cake. I will let you know how it turns out.
