gluten-free Hot Chocoloate

[jessika393]

and your favorite gluten-free cookie is? I'm looking to find some good gluten-free cookies! Since my diagnosis, I have been only finding bland ones w/ very different textures and flavors. Any suggestions? I really miss chocolate chip cookies!

[Guest Viola]

I just made some great chocolate chip cookies. I used Kinnikinnick cookie mix, then I subbed lemon extract instead of vanilla, added the zest of one lemon and the juice. Also doubled the recipe on the package and put in one whole bag of chocolate chips I love chocolate chips ... Anyway, my company thought I bought them at the bakery. I called them lemon chocolate chip cookies.

gluten-free Hot Chocoloate?

Umm couple easy options..

1) Nestle is now marking all thier Hot Chocolates "100 % gluten free" , at least on every box I saw in the store this week.

2) Some one else posted that Swiss Miss is gluten-free, but I ahve not personaly verifited.

3) Buy pure cocoa and make it yore self. Its very easy.

I make my own hot chocolate with unsweetened cocoa and hazelnut milk, then add whatever sweetener I feel like, lol. I also am really enjoying Whole Foods's Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip cookies. I've been heating them ever so slightly in the microwave, ummm. I haven't tried any other brand of cookies to compare though...I've only been gluten-free for a month or so. I plan to see what I can find at another local health food store which I understand has a great gluten-free product selection, including Kinnikinnik, sometime this week.

I also called them as well to make sure that the Swiss Miss FF Marshmellow Lovers was gluten-free (It is).

As far as cookies go. I've posted some good recipes in the last while that you can find if you search my posts or if you do not like baking I recommend "Pamela's" gluten-free cookies. They have a great chocolate chip and their Almond Shortbread is to die for.

Hugs

Thanks Bridget,

I could not recall, and figured I better quailfy it just to be safe!

[mookie03]

i second the vote for pamelas cookies- i love the espresso choc chunk flavor and the choc chip shortbread!

[Guest gfinnebraska]

Sam's Club sells a hot cocoa mix on-line that says "gluten free" right on the can. It is a nice sized can and comes in a few different flavors. I bought the chocolate mint ~ yummy!!

I also love all cookies made by Glutino ~ their sandwich cookies are really good!!!

[jessika393]

Thanks for all your help and suggestions!!!

[mandigirl1]

Pamela's cookies are too die for....especially the peanut butter. I have eaten an entire box in one day. Also Glutano makes good stuff.

[celiac3270]

Swiss Miss is gluten-free-- I verified and drank.....

Ive decided I am going to stick with NEstle when I can (and when not making my own) soly becasue of the 100% Gluten Free label. But thats just me, I just try to vote iwth my dollar in these cases.

[lovegrov]

Stephen's is gluten-free. I wouldn't use one without checking, but hot chocolate/cocoa mixes in general seem to be pretty safe.

How I make hot chocolate:

1) heat up a mug of almond milk in the microwave

2) in a small glass or bowl, make a slurry out of organic cocoa (I like Rapunzel's) (but I'll use others in a heartbeat if I have to, except Nestle Cocoa... I really don't like the flavor, very flat) and a bit of water

3) add to the slurry agave nectar (or honey or sugar if you're out)

4) (optional) spike the slurry with something fun like peppermint extract (or it's adult version, Rumplemintz) or french vanilla syrup

5) when the microwave's done, mix the slurry into the milk, and stir to combine

6) (usually happens for me) taste, and add more sweetener. :-)

I do simular... cept simpler and cheaper

I use whole milk, and kroger cocoa, and raw sugar as my only ingredinets. I make the "slury" up first wth milk and cocoa instead of water.

OH! I do occasionaly add sugar free Divninc's syrup to add some various flavores...

no milk for me. :-) and I prefer not to use processed sugar when I can help it - agave has a lower glycemic index. but that is probably the easiest way to go, and I'm sure it tastes just fine. :-)

(yeah, I could use almond milk instead of water for the slurry, but by that point, I've already put the almond milk back in the fridge, and the water dispenser on the door is sitting there just waiting... I'm lazy. ;-) )

(what can I say... I've been accurately described as a food snob before by my friends... :-) I think I'll take that vice. :-P :-D )

Well I use raw sugar, not the white junk, but I dont think I have ever seen Agave anywhere around here. Myabe whole foods carrys it but its rare I drive all the way out there! 45 mins 1 way....

[Bee Free]

I sent an email to ConAgra who makes Swiss Miss. They sent me a list of all of their gluten free products. Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate is on the list. It sure tastes great to drink it again!!
