I love Kozy Shack and their gluten free tapioca and rice puddings. There is a constant supply of it in our house. And now, we'll have something new on our grocery store shelves soon! And, boy, does it sound de-lic-ous!!

Kozy Shack is introducing a new Coffeehouse Blends pudding. The gluten-free treat comes in three flavors: caffe latte, cappuccino and caramel macchiato. All three sound amazing.

In addition, Kozy Shack is introducing new SmartGels, which use a natural vegetarian-based (carrageenan) ingredient to create a Kosher, gluten-free alternative to gelatin-based desserts. SmartGel flavors include orange and sugar-free orange, strawberry and sugar-free strawberry, tropical and sugar-free tropical and cherry. The treats will be available in convenient 3.5-oz. grab-and-go cups.
