Chocolate Pb Bar Recipe?

I used to love my Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars. They are the kind with the smashed graham cracker crust mixed with PB, butter and powdered sugar with melted PB and chocloate on top. I'd love to make them again, but I haven't found any good gluten-free graham cracker substitutes. Does anyone have any ideas for what I could use instead? Or any similar gluten-free recipes?

You can buy "graham" crumbs from Knickiknick.com

uh, can we have the recipe :D:D ???

That is an easy substitution, there is a substitute cracker for the graham crackers, whole foods carry them, but I cannot remember the name - they are hard though, so you have to really crush them or put in the blender. when I was using them I liked to add a little almond flour to them to lighten them up a bit. They were one of the few gluten-free baked goods that I did not get sick from.

Now I just use cookie crumbs that I have frozen in the freezer, any crumbs from bought or homemade cookies. I also just use almond flour for the graham cracker base in my Hello Dolly Cookies (bars), and it is great. I also use coconut macaroons (there are some gluten-free ones) crushed up etc.

Happy Baking

I'll check out knickiknick.com. Seems like I could also use my "failed" crumbling cookie experiments. Unfortunately I've gotten much better at baking and I don't have as many crumbling messes.

Here's the gluten recipe. I probably should have thought to post this in the first place.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars - GLUTEN VERSION

2 Cups Peanut Butter

¾ Cup Butter (softened)

2 Cups Powdered Sugar

3 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs

2 Cups (12oz) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

--------------------------------------------------------------------

· Beat 1 ¼ cups peanut butter and butter until creamy

· Gradually beat in 1 cup powdered sugar

· Work in remaining powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs and ½ cup chocolate chips by hand or with spoon

· Press evenly into greased 13x9 pan

· Melt remaining ¾ cup peanut butter and 1 ½ cups chocolate chips on low heat, stirring constantly

· Spread over graham cracker crust

· Refrigerate for at least one hour until chocolate is firm, cut into bars

· Store in refrigerator

Are you thinking of the Health Valley Rice Bran crackers? I think that is what they are called!

Ooooh, I have some of those! They're so boring and plain that I find them super yummy :) They might make a really good crust, though, once you put a ton of butter and chocolate and peanut butter all over them.

I like them too! I think a lot of people have posted that they use them for a "graham cracker" crust...

As they are not too sweet they won't be overpowering! I agree... butter, chocolate and pb will make anything tasty! :)

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
