My mother-in-law was introducing all the Candyland characters to my son as they played this morning. Gloppy the Molasses Monster seemed to be his favorite and he wanted to know all about molasses.
She told him the next time he came over she would show him some molasses and then suggested they make some gluten free molasses cookies. About 5 minutes later I got an email from her daughter who had just made some and was so excited that they turned out good. I thought it was extremely ironic… but another successful recipe to post!
