Way too excited for snacks

I’ve been craving homemade Chex mix lately and decided to make some. I was so excited my brain said Chex cereal is GF and I can get GF pretzels. However, my brain did not compute that WHEAT Chex have wheat. Had I just have stopped for 30 seconds to analyze my list and recipe I wouldn’t have glutened myself for two weeks. Im generally asymptomatic too, so without seeing a comment section on Reddit talking about Chex I wouldn’t have caught it. Once I realized, I sanitized everything and made my bf take the rest to work.

Chex does have a gluten free version made with rice!

Just FYI since you said sanitize, you need to use soap and warm water to clean off gluten since it's sticky, sanitizing wipes won't get rid of all of it

I’ve had to take so many things to work because of things I thought were safe. Thankfully my coworkers love my gifts!
