Gluten Free Milwaukee: Treat Bake Shop Nuts

Treat Bake Shop Nuts

Last month my mom and I went to an art show. Amongst the artists was a table with samples of nuts. The table was hosted by Treat Bake Shop and visitors were able to sample its Spiced Pecans, Candied Pecans, and Spiced Almonds. Along with the sample we were told different ways we could use each nut such as putting them on top of a salad.

After trying the nuts for ourselves we asked our usual question. Are the nuts gluten-free? The simple answer to that question is yes. The ingredients used to make the product itself are gluten-free. However, the kitchen in which the nuts are made is not. Before I wrote this post I e-mailed the owner of Treat Bake Shop and had this confirmed. The kitchen is not gluten-free and those with an extreme sensitivity to gluten may want to be cautious.

Since trying these nuts at the art show I have only personally found them in one place and that is the Sendik’s Food Market in Wauwatosa. Fortunately the Treat Bake Shop website (www.thetreatbakeshop.com) has a huge list of places where the nuts are available. While the list of providers in Wisconsin is quite long, there are also many establishments that are out of state. This is great for any gluten-free friends or relatives you may have who do not live in Wisconsin as they may be able to find the Treat Bake Shop nuts in their area.

Who We Are

My mother and I, (Lady G and Kate) do not lead gluten free lives. Neither one of us has a gluten intolerance, but we come across more and more people who do. Our interest in finding gluten free options began when my brother started dating a woman who does have a gluten intolerance. We sought out to find different stores and restaurants in Milwaukee that offered items my brother’s girlfriend could eat. As we did this, we found ourselves frequently recommending our findings to other people. We did this so often, we decided to create a blog letting everyone know how they can live gluten free in Milwaukee.

A Note to Our Readers

As writers of this blog, our goal is to feature as many product options as possible to those who are gluten-free. While we are always excited to let our readers know about a newly discovered product, we do not verify whether or not it is certified gluten-free. We operate with the information we know at the time and take the word of the manufacturer or restaurant that has the product. We ask that you always ask questions, especially those with an extreme sensitivity to gluten, in order to make a decision as to whether or not the product is right for you.
