Popcorn Balls {dairy-free, egg-free, peanut-free, gluten-free}

Just in time for Fall parties and celebrations! Last Saturday I had to come up with a dessert for a Harvest Party that would be fun for a group of college students. I wanted something that fit into the 'finger food' category that would also be allergy-friendly for my daughter. In group events where food is involved {when is food NOT involved?}, I like to make something allergy-friendly so my girl can eat what everyone else is enjoying. I was happy to have found this Fall favorite and make it allergy-friendly. So, if you're looking for a quick treat that doesn't require much effort, this is it!

Popcorn Balls {dairy-free, egg-free, peanut-free, gluten-free}

3/4 c light corn syrup
1/4 coconut oil
2 T cold water
2 5/8 c powdered sugar
1 cup marshmallows
5 quarts popcorn, popped {I airpopped mine - delicious}

Heat the first 5 ingredients in a saucepan and mix well. Once thoroughly combined, add in marshmallows, stir constantly until melted. Pour mixture over popcorn and mix until coated. Lay wax paper down and form popcorn into balls. Place on wax paper to set. I wore disposable gloves sprayed with cooking spray to form the popcorn balls and it worked like a charm. No sticking. These turned out great with very little effort!

Enjoy!

Marshmallow Fondant {Dairy-free, Egg-free, Nut-free}

I saw this on Pinterest several months ago and finally decided to give it a try. When I saw the recipe, it wasn't listed as allergy-free, but immediately pinned it to my allergy-free foods board because it totally meets my requirements. I think you'll love this, too. It is VERY easy and quick. It's also very fun to make. My 4 yr old thought it was play-doh at first and when I gave her a cupcake on her birthday, she said, "You put play-doh on it?" This is a great way to decorate your cupcakes and cakes, especially if you aren't so great at doing frosting techniques. I'm a messy froster, so this was probably the neatest cupcake I have ever decorated and I'll definitely do it again!
