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!)

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
