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!

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
