Hosting a party
If you’re throwing a party in your own home it’s probably easiest to make everything gluten-free. This will reduce the risk of cross-contamination and avoid any child feeling left out.
Try making:
- gluten-free rice-crispie* buns,
- popcorn*,
- marshmallows* dipped in chocolate*
- chocolate whoopie pies
- gluten-free fairy cakes.
* Please check the Food List for suitable gluten-free brands.

You might also like to send your child to the party with some gluten free goodies to share. If attending a party at a venue you can purchase a Childs Eating Out Card to explain their needs.
