Christmas Food

I use to make all sorts of Christmas goodies. Now I am wondering what is gluten-free. This is my first Christmas gluten-free. I want to make almond bark peanut clusters, toffee, turtles, peanut brittle and other cookies. I haven't seen anything about these food items. Can anybody give me some insight on these? I don't really know about almond bark. I would probably get this from wal-mart. The brand is Plymouth Pantry. The ingredients are as follows: suggar(sugar,cornstarch), partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil,cocoa process with alkali, cocoa,soy lecithin(an emulsifier),artificial flavor,milk. The only thing that I would question is the artificial flavor. Thanks for any help.

Almond bark, toffee, and peanut brittle generally should be OK. I certainly can't guarantee every brand is, but the traditional recipes for those shouldn't have gluten. I would not be concerned about the artificial flavor but you can try calling the manufacturer.

I make bark and brittle. What do you usually use for the ingredients? We didn't really deviate from ours. I can help adjust your recipes.

Almond bark peanut cluster-just peanuts and bark, Turtles-I am trying this recipe-melting carmels then putting pieces of pecans in-letting this set up and then pouring chocolate bark over it. peanut brittle is okay-use my micro recipe and ingredients are okay. Just have a question on ritz type cracker for almond bark. Any ideas? My sister usually makes eggnog cookies and I am going to try to make tose too. Thanks for the help.

Glutino makes a cracker that is the closest thing I can find to Ritz

Here's a link to my blog. I have a great peppermint bark recipe here, it has a creamy chocolate center.

I also have a recipe there for cheese-its...the closest to a real cracker I have tried since going gluten-free! Even my gluten-eating husband, who loves the real ones, says these were pretty good!

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
