Celiac.com 03/25/2017 - Looking for a reasonably healthy snack for the kids, or an easy way to make a hit at your next gathering? These classic peanut butter bars are just like they used to serve in school; except they're gluten-free. Yes, that's a good thing.

Ingredients:

1½ cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs (I use Kinnikinnick Crumbs - Graham Style Gluten Free)

3 cups confectioners' sugar

1½ cups peanut butter

1 cup butter, melted

1 (12 ounce) bag milk chocolate chips

Directions:
Combine gluten-free graham crumbs, sugar and peanut butter and mix well.

Add melted butter and mix well.

Press mixture evenly into a 9 x 13 inch pan.

Melt chocolate chips in microwave or in double boiler.

Spread melted chocolate over peanut butter mixture.

Chill until the chocolate sets, but is not totally hard, then cut into bars.

Have you heard the peanut plants are being sprayed with pesticides along with plants growing next to the peanuts? I just wonder if it is true?

  I never had muscle twitching that I would relate to Celiac Disease (celiac disease). However, I now have Long Covid and muscle twitching, burning, and other issues cropped up with that. Predating all was restless leg syndrome (RLS). Are you talking about RLS? I've had that since '99. It gets progressively worse.

  Hello @aperlo34, what types of supplements are you taking? Your symptoms could be related to vitamin/mineral deficiencies. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors...

  Chapstick, gum, cough drops, medications...HELP!
  
  I am in the same boat--my daughter is in a junior college and staying with us now, but will be going away this summer to a school far from home. We're doing the research now on their food options.
