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!  ?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
