When I have my family over, they usually request that I make Chocolate Almond Brittle and Gluten Free Graham Crackers. They’re all gluten-eaters! As we all get older, brittle gets stick in our teeth, though it never stops me! So, as a substitute, I created a similar recipe to the chocolate brittle using graham crackers. You can use any nuts you desire. I’ve chosen walnuts today, as they’re my favorite. You can omit the nuts altogether and substitute them with a sprinkle of vanilla bean flake sea salt. It gives it that chocolate-covered pretzel vibe. Enjoy! Continue reading “Chocolate Covered Gluten Free Graham Crackers”

Gluten Free Polvorones (Shortbread Walnut Cookies) aka Mexican Wedding Cookies
The word polvo, in Spanish, means powder or dust. These gluten free polvorones, aka Mexican wedding cookies, Spanish polvorones, or walnut shortbread cookies, are not dust. However, powder or dust is a resemblance of what its crumbly texture leaves behind. The delicate texture is created by its lack of egg. Real shortbread made by master chefs are just as delicate. Learn how to make exquisite gluten free polvorones. Continue reading “Gluten Free Polvorones (Shortbread Walnut Cookies) aka Mexican Wedding Cookies”
