Barbara's Puffins

ArmsOfLove · 03-26-2005, 07:08 PM

does anyone else find they cut your mouth all to shreds?

they are really tasty, but I'm not sure they are worth it

Yes they do...it's that Captain Crunch thing.

I love puffins! Those were one of my fave cereals growing up, and I get excited when they're on sale at the grocery store. They're never cut my mouth, either eaten dry or in milk.

I agree, I liked the taste, but it did hurt my mouth

Well, I bought some and tried them because of this thread specifically to see if they hurt my mouth.

I'm happy to say they didn't.

I looked at the ingredients, though, and wanted to make sure people on gluten-free diets are aware that three types of Puffins have oat flour in them -- only the Honey Rice is gluten-free as far as I can tell. You all probably knew that

but I was surprised. I've never seen the Honey Rice kind in our stores up here, though.

We aren't gluten-free, but we try to limit our intake of it and the idea of trying a gluten-free diet is on my mind at times, but haven't taken the complete plunge yet.

well I've had them since and one box hurt and one didn't--wonder if it has to do with how fresh they are
