Enjoy Life Decadent Bars

I recently had the opportunity to sample Enjoy Life's new Decadent Soft Baked  Bars. 

Let me first say that I always feel very comfortable recommending Enjoy Life products because I know their focus is on making good-tasting food that is also safe for people with food allergies and celiac disease. All of their products are free of wheat, dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, fish, shellfish, sesame and sulfites.

As anyone with multiple dietary concerns knows, it is priceless to be able to turn to a ready-made product that you know will be safe and tasty.


That brings us to enjoy Life's Decadent Bars. They come in four flavors: Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Sunbutter, Cinnamon Bun and S'Mores. Each bar is drizzled with chocolate or white chocolate- honestly, they look beautiful.

I really like the texture- soft, with a little crisp in them- and I thought they tasted great (admittedly, the Chocolate Sunbutter was my favorite!). These bars are perfect to have on-hand for a quick snack or to serve during a playdate. They are small and easy to carry, which makes them ideal for travel too. 

If you want to try them out, grab a coupon and head over to your favorite grocery store that carries Enjoy Life products (check out the store locator to find one near you). They can also be ordered right from the Enjoy Life Online store for  single boxes or a 6-pack. The shelf life of the bars is approximately 9 months and there is currently a free shipping offer on orders over $49.

I'm happy to add Enjoy Life's Decadent Bars to my list of easy, delicious and safe foods. I love a product that makes life a bit easier!

Food Allergies: A Matter of the Heart

With my food allergic child now in middle school, Valentine's Day was less stressful this year. While a few teachers, and the bus driver, handed out lollipops, most of the day was a typical school day.

I did try to bring in some holiday festivities to our dinner by making mini meatloaves in a heart shape and by baking these Valentine's Day cupcakes. It's super easy to turn any cupcake into a heart shape. Simply drop a small marble between the liner and the side of the cupcake tin and then bake (yup, it's safe to bake the marble!). I frosted them in pink  and topped each with a chocolate heart made by melting Enjoy Life mini-chips and pouring the melted chocolate into my heart-shaped candy mold.

Enjoy Life Not Nuts

Yes, let them eat trail mix! It's hard to find an allergy friendly mix for people with food allergies. Fortunately Enjoy Life has two great options. Beach Bash is made up of pumpkin and sunflower seeds and dried pineapple, cranberries and apricots. Very tropical tasting! Mountain Mambo contains pumpkin and sunflower seeds, as well as raisins, cranberries, dried apples and chocolate chips.

They are both great alone, but I enjoyed sprinkling Not Nuts on my cereal or oatmeal at breakfast. They are also a nice addition to a salad later in the day. They give a little extra protein and fiber with some sweetness and crunch!

Since Enjoy Life products are made in a nut and gluten-free bakery and are free of the top eight allergens, they are a great option for school lunchboxes, quick snacks and classroom parties where everyone will enjoy them.

Enjoy Life is also another great resource for dealing with food allergies. Check out their Tips and Hints section to learn more about managing food allergies at school, 504 plans to protect students with food allergies, and sources and substitutions for common allergens.

Get Enjoy Life coupons and look for their Not Nuts and other products at your local grocery store.

I just filled out a product request card at my supermarket for the Enjoy Life Mega Chunks. Sometimes you just need a mega-dose of dairy-free chocolate!
