GFCF Friday: Goldbaums Gluten Free Ice Cream Cones make for happy kids

I shared that I recently found a slew of gluten & casein free foods at the Christmas Tree Shops including ice cream cones. These ice cream cones, to be specific: Goldbaums Gluten Free Ice Cream Cones. I snatched up several boxes of these for only $2.49/12 cones - such a bargain. I since went online and found them at amazon for a case of 12 for $36.99 which breaks down to just $3.08 a box or at the GlutenFreeMall for $3.93 a box - still not too bad. At the health food stores the gluten free ice cream cones are ridiculously priced at something like $7.99 for a pack of 6 cones - no, I'm not joking.


My son loved ice cream cones but when he went on "the diet" and I saw those prices for GFCF cones the days of an ice cream cone treat became a thing of the past. "Ice cream" in boring bowls, it was. No more! My son had his first ice cream cone since going GFCF and to see how happy it made him... well, it was like a million bucks to me. As for our favorite gluten and casein free ice cream - Purely Decadent from Turtle Mountain vanilla for the kids - we love their coconut milk dairy free line.. it is so creamy. As for the taste of these cones - spot on! They look, smell and taste just like your standard ice cream cup cone. Winner!

Goldbaums gluten free cones are: Kosher, gluten free, vegan, gmo-free, and "low calorie". Ingredients: Potato starch, cornstarch, demerara sugar, water, expeller-pressed palm oil, salt, cocoa powder, xanthan gum, baking soda

Wonderful! I'll have to order some of these since we don't have them around here.

Go Turtle Mountain! I couldn't agree more about the awesome nature of their ice cream!
