Gluten Free Tombstone Treats

Gluten Free Tombstone Treats


I love Halloween. It’s a time of the year filled with child-like creativity and you’re allowed to pretend to be whatever you want. I’ve always felt inspired by this time of the year with witches, zombies, and all the different types of monsters that I was super excited to partake in this event. The gluten free tombstone treats I’m sharing with y’all today not only taste great, but you can also let your creativity fly as you decorate these yummy treats.

These tombstone treats are a thriller and kids would have tons of fun decorating these. The fudgy, soft gluten free chocolate brownies are just the right serving size. Top them with some fluffy buttercream frosting and crunchy crumbled cookies, you’ll be fighting for your life to resist eating these! I like to round out the graveyard decorations with some spooky candy skeletons and tombstones.
