I know, also, that you can make marshmallows. I haven’t tried it yet, but it involves candy-making techniques. I like to make as many things as I can since at least I know exactly what is in them. It sounds like you do, too.

I would have to check that out… I have never seen it before at the health food store here… but I will check again and see if I could order some of not (there is not much choice here)

Just thought I’d share a quick tip! We don’t eat regular marshmallows…we use an all natural brown rice syrup based vegan “marshmallow”…it’s really good and comes in a plastic container…it has the consistency of marshmallow fluff. But you can use it in the kind of recipe you were talking about…we make brown rice crispy bars with it and you really can’t tell the difference. You can find it in the natural food stores if you’re interested!

Thanks! I will have to see if those are available here in Canada… My boys have not had too much candy so it is not something that they ask for but we do like getting treats once in a while…
We have found quite a few things that are treats but without the chemicals… There are some natural lollipops that you can buy also that are sweetened with fruit juice and have natural colouring… they are really tasty also… (better imo than the sugar and chemical ones…)
In the organic section at the grocery store and in health food stores you can find all types of other treats also…

My youngest son is avoiding color as well, and feeling very deprived because while he loves sour candy, it’s just not possible for him to eat it - even once in awhile. Through lots of label reading, we’ve discovered that Mambas and a new line of Jelly Bellies are colored with natural dyes, so now he can have his occasional treat without feeling deprived. I figured I’d share that, just in case your kids have similar cravings!
