Hi everybody!

I am looking for some good ideas for CF and gluten-free candy that I can make at home. What have you had success with?

Thanks!

chocolates beginning with a base of dark might be a good place to start

or sugar based candies like marshmallows and such

I used Enjoy Life chocolate chips to make molded chocolates. Also made Applets, and fudge, substituting rice milk and coconut oil for the milk and butter. Hard or jelly type candies would be other options.

You should try marshmallows. Once they're made you can cover them in melted chocolate if you want. I'm guessing the "C" in CFF is for casein but I have a recipe on my blog for gluten-free corn free marshmallows. You should check it out and let me know if you have success.

Yes-- the CF is for casein free. Dairy is out. So no English toffee and no chocolate (cocoa yes.)

I tried a fondant and it worked out-- but it is mind-numbingly sweet. I rolled it in crushed pecans. I also made merengues-- but I think taffy and marshmellows will be next on the list. Thanks!

Any more dairy free, gluten-free ideas out there?

Thanks!

The recipe I use calls for semisweet choc chips . . . I haven't used them, but Enjoy Life chocolate chips are dairy free.

Hot Air Candy

Candy Ingredients:

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown rice syrup or corn syrup

1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 Tablespoon baking soda

Topping Ingredients:

1 bag Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 1/2 Tablespoons vegetable shortening (like Crisco)

Directions:

1. Line a 9 x 13″ pan with parchment paper. Cut enough paper so that the paper goes up all 4 sides of the pan and overlaps the edges a bit. If you prefer, you can also butter the sides/bottom of the pan instead.

2. In a deep pot over medium heat/flame(I use a deep, thin stock pot), stir together sugar, rice or corn syrup and vinegar constantly until the sugar has dissolved.

3. Continue cooking over a medium flame until mixture reaches 300F and/or mixture forms brittle strands when dripped into cold water.

4. Remove mixture from heat. Working quickly, stir in or whisk in the baking soda. Do NOT continue to stir once the baking soda has been evenly distributed.

5. Pour into prepared pan - but don

      Oh wow thankyou so much  for this information that's is very eye opening , you see I always say talk to the ones who have experienced ,  my analogy was always you can never feel the pain of a broken leg untill you have one, I'm so glad you reached out to me and will definitely look into all this advice ,  the docters don't listen one said to me have you been googling symptoms lol, nope there real I'm real and I'm suffering ! I've been on vitamin supplements on and off threw blood tests for over 15 years, yet they didn't question why it was always like that ? I do believe also that the deficiency needs looking at because I have frequent diarrhea and wat I'm loosing I'm probably not getting back, hence the symptoms your right are being caused and I'm feeling poorly threw it ,so thankyou again for this advice , I can't express in words how much I appreciate it , I have just developed a huge white patch on my neck also , she has given me nizorol shampoo to wash it and antifungal tablets , I've already tried the cream didn't work it's not itchy not red just a large skin depigmentation , I have olive skin so it stands out but that's just occured in the last few months too, and she said it could take two years to come back 🤷

      @nanny marley, Have you been taking any vitamins or mineral supplements besides Vitamin D? What are you eating?  Do you eat processed gluten free foods?   You said your symptoms included fatigue, body hair loss, low vitamin d,  Restless Leg Syndrome, Raynaud's Syndrome, contact dermatitis, rhinitis, body aches, TMJ, heart palpitations, sleep issues, vomiting,  dizziness, frequent bowel movements. There's eight B vitamins and Vitamin C that are water soluble.  When one has diarrhea for extended periods of time, those water soluble essential vitamins are flushed out of the body easily, and there's little time to absorb any more water soluble vitamins or fat soluble vitamins from food moving through that fast.   It's easy to become vitamin deficient with diarrhea.   Deficiency in Vitamin B1, Thiamine, can result in Gastrointestinal BeriBeri which can also cause diarrhea, fatigue, and abdominal pain.  Deficiency in Vitamin B3, Niacin, can cause diarrhea as well as skin rashes, and sleep issues.  Deficiency in Vitamin B12, Cobalamine, can cause diarrhea and Restless Leg Syndrome.  Deficiency in Vitamin C can cause diarrhea and skin rashes. Thiamine deficiency can also cause heart palpitations, sleep issues, and vomiting.  Have you had your thyroid checked?  Hypothyroidism can cause body hair loss, as can iron deficiency.   I've experienced serious nutritional deficiencies which my doctors did not recognize as such and blamed me for making stuff up.  I've experienced these nutritional deficiencies.  I earned a degree in Microbiology after studying nutrition because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  Vitamins are special organic compounds that our bodies cannot make, so we must get them from food or supplements.  Without these vitamins, our bodies cannot function well. Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals that are lacking on the gluten free diet.  Blood tests for deficiencies in the B vitamins are not accurate.  Taking a B Complex and looking for health improvement is best.   I've got serious vision problems and would really appreciate punctuation.  Thanks P.S.  I take a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12 and Pyridoxine B6 for back pain from crushed vertebrae.  I understand back pain.  These vitamins together relieve pain.
