Allergen-free Treats

Desserts can be very challenging for those with special dietary needs. Realizing that there, in fact, are safe means for a sweet-tooth fix can be very helpful in accepting an allergy diagnosis, and here are two options.

Next week is cupcake week on "The Martha Stewart Show," and on Tuesday (8/19), the show will be featuring allergen-free treats, specifically chocolate cupcakes that are milk-, egg-, peanut- and tree nut-free. Alas, they aren't gluten-free (at least according to the info I have), but I'm pleased that a recipe for those with food allergies is being presented.

And I just learned about Enjoy Life Foods' new allergen-free chocolate bar. (I think I may have died and gone to heaven.) CHOCO boom bars are dairy-, nut- and soy-free, and they're available at Whole Foods and other select natural grocers. Can't wait to try it!
