So Rob's been doing some traveling lately and bringing me back a wide variety of celiac-safe treats. Though I can't guarantee if anyone will be able to locate these products- here's a review of them anyway.
First off he found Vanilla Pumpkins Munchy Seeds. These are a small pack (40g) of dry roasted pumpkin seeds coated with vanilla flavoured sugar. Not exactly the combination I would choose- but hey everything is a worth a try- especially if it's gluten free.
Essentially these sweet tasting seeds remind me of those candy almonds one is rewarded with after attending a wedding celebration. However you may or may not know what I'm referring to if you are like Rob and are afraid to eat them. He's never sure if they contain gluten or not. In any case the Vanilla Pumpkin seeds are sweet and laden with vanilla and have a sort of a crunch that waffles a bit on the stale/not stale side.
Yes they are gluten free but definitely peculiar. On the front of the package are bright images intended I believe- to conjure up vanilla dreams laden in muffins and strawberries and cream.
Hmm- but they do smell good.
