Gluten Free Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Marshmallow Cookies (just like Viva Puff Cookies)



Growing up Viva Puffs were one of my favourite cookies and it has been well over 5 years since I have had one and since they are not gluten free I decided to come up with my own recipe - totally gluten free.  These cookies are simple to make and taste just like a viva puff. Even if you are not eating gluten free these cookies will not disappoint!
