This came from a celiac newsletter from Boston's Children's Hospital Celiac Newsletter:

Close your eyes, and they taste like the real thing!

gluten-free Thin Mints

40 Round gluten-free crackers (I used Casabe Rainforest crackers plain flavor)

1/2 Cup chocolate chips (I used more)

10 drops peppermint extract (I used more approx. 1/2 tsp.)

Melt choc. chips in microwave or double boiler

add peppermint extract and stir

dip crackers to coat (using a spoon helps!)

put on waxed paper on a cookie sheet & place in refrig. or freezer for about 1/2 hour

Enjoy!!

(store in refrig.)

I posted that awhile back but I use the BiAglut crackers with the scalloped edge. I just bought a pkg of the rainforest crackers-- the plain ones. Different!!!! Do you use the flavored ones also and are they better tasting than the plain ones? Of course I realize you use the plain for for the thin mint cookies.

The plain ones reminded me of eating cardboard not that I eat cardboard.

gluten-free thin mint are the best..............

The Casabe Rainforest Crackers are gross... all the flavors!

But, the plain ones work well for the Thin Mint recipe.

I agree... ANYTHING dipped in chocolate tastes great! :D

Hope everyone is enjoying their cookies.

(I used semi-sweet too!)

I am and wish I wasn't. If there was a detector of gluten in the air it would make a world of difference.

If eliminating gluten from my diet had changed anything I’d be happy to just keep on the gluten-free diet, but with eating gluten several times with no rash, and having a rash when I was many years into gluten-free eating (and was much more careful at that point), I’m just baffled. Many, many thanks to you both.
