Homemade Chocolate Bar

We are only a month and a half with our gluten free diet and one thing we are definitely missing is chocolate. We live in Canada and have yet to find a chocolate bar that we can eat. We were excited to find that Smarties in the US were okay, but upon further investigation we learned that Smarties in the US are what we call Rockets in Canada and are not chocolate at all!  We also have nut allergies in our house which eliminates several gluten-free options.

Well I came across this recipe on pinterest (Thanks to Beaming Baker!!!!!!!!) and have to tell you it takes under a minute to prepare and is totally delicious!!!

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips ( I used milk chocolate chipits that are gluten free!)

3/4 cups brown rice krispies

2 teaspoons coconut oil

 

I put the chocolate chips and the coconut oil in the microwave for 20 seconds and stirred.

Then put in another 15 seconds and stirred until all the chocolate chips were melted.

Then fold in the rice krispies.

Using a spatula lay chocolate mixture on parchment paper in a dish or pan.

Smooth mixture out.

Place dish into freezer for 10 to 15 minutes.

Break pieces to keep in the fridge or freezer, if you don't eat it all at once!!!

I saw on one of her other posts that she made them in cupcake wrappers and they came out shaped like a peanut butter cup.

FYI  My daughter's favourite chocolate bar was Kit Kat and I am so excited to share that she thinks it tastes just like Kit Kat, I think it also reminds me of chocolate macaroons.

Enjoy!!!!

GERBS allergen friendly foods (ships to canada) has milk and gluten free chocolate chips also free of other crap. Enjoy Life Makes allergen friendly chocolate chips. Melt these in a double boiler and use candy molds, add what ever you wish for fillings, As you mentioned a bit extra coconut oil makes it pour easier. Check with LorAnn Oils for extracts suitable for chocolates, there are some crazy ideas there (I have a peanut allergy and they have a safe peanut free artificial peanut butter extract,...reseses?) Perhaps you can start making chocoates and selling them at a local farmers market? I started a bakery for gluten free baked goods and almond butter to help fund my gluten free diet along with doing chef work. I personally can not have sugar and order Crio Bru ground cocoa beans and mix it with a sweetener and just use it as a desert topping or a snack mix >.> stuff is addicting eating it by the handful.

Make sure that cereal (brown Rice Krispies) is gluten free.  The most popular version contains barley malt!  

The candy sounds yummy!  ?

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By trents · Posted

      @Winnie-Ther-Pooh, we are talking about two different standards here. In the U.S, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set the standard for using "Gluten-Free" in product advertising at less than 20 ppm of gluten. There is another standard, an internationally-recognized one, known as "Certified Gluten-Free" which is stricter, requiring less than 10 ppm of gluten. Certified Gluten-Free products will bear the GFCO logo. But in either case, it is important to understand that there still may be some gluten in the product which, for the super-sensitive subset of the celiac community, may still cause reactions.

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I second that motion! Franz Gluten Free may not be in all Costco's--perhaps in the Western USA only? It's my go to bread for our family because it is whole grain, tastes great, has reasonable sized slices, and is only ~$5 per loaf (sold in twin packs where each loaf is vacuum packed). Most other breads are a lot more expensive.

      I didn't realize that they weren't certified. I looked on their website and they say that they test their product to be below 20ppm but when you click on the link THEY provide about their certification process, it goes to their main page. Their website in Canada is very bad... (deliberately?). (no English translation sorry) https://www.bobsredmill.ca/produit/flocons-davoine-a-lancienne-sans-gluten

      I was diagnosed with Celiacs in 2015. I come from ethnic backgrounds that regularly drink a few glasses of wine or beer with dinner every night. Now that I have been gluten free for 10 years, I definitely have noticed that I gradually wanted that less and less. Now I just have 1 glass with Sunday dinner, and do not want more. Maybe I have just gotten out of the habit, ritual, or maybe my body is telling me. I do feel better overall though.

      @Winnie-Ther-Pooh, Does Bob's Red Mill offer certified gluten-free oats in CN? I cannot find any certified gluten-free oats on their U.S. website, just gluten-free.
