Homemade Chocolate Bar

We are only a month and a half with our gluten free diet and one thing we are definitely missing is chocolate. We live in Canada and have yet to find a chocolate bar that we can eat. We were excited to find that Smarties in the US were okay, but upon further investigation we learned that Smarties in the US are what we call Rockets in Canada and are not chocolate at all!  We also have nut allergies in our house which eliminates several gluten-free options.

Well I came across this recipe on pinterest (Thanks to Beaming Baker!!!!!!!!) and have to tell you it takes under a minute to prepare and is totally delicious!!!

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips ( I used milk chocolate chipits that are gluten free!)

3/4 cups brown rice krispies

2 teaspoons coconut oil

 

I put the chocolate chips and the coconut oil in the microwave for 20 seconds and stirred.

Then put in another 15 seconds and stirred until all the chocolate chips were melted.

Then fold in the rice krispies.

Using a spatula lay chocolate mixture on parchment paper in a dish or pan.

Smooth mixture out.

Place dish into freezer for 10 to 15 minutes.

Break pieces to keep in the fridge or freezer, if you don't eat it all at once!!!

I saw on one of her other posts that she made them in cupcake wrappers and they came out shaped like a peanut butter cup.

FYI  My daughter's favourite chocolate bar was Kit Kat and I am so excited to share that she thinks it tastes just like Kit Kat, I think it also reminds me of chocolate macaroons.

Enjoy!!!!

GERBS allergen friendly foods (ships to canada) has milk and gluten free chocolate chips also free of other crap. Enjoy Life Makes allergen friendly chocolate chips. Melt these in a double boiler and use candy molds, add what ever you wish for fillings, As you mentioned a bit extra coconut oil makes it pour easier. Check with LorAnn Oils for extracts suitable for chocolates, there are some crazy ideas there (I have a peanut allergy and they have a safe peanut free artificial peanut butter extract,...reseses?) Perhaps you can start making chocoates and selling them at a local farmers market? I started a bakery for gluten free baked goods and almond butter to help fund my gluten free diet along with doing chef work. I personally can not have sugar and order Crio Bru ground cocoa beans and mix it with a sweetener and just use it as a desert topping or a snack mix >.> stuff is addicting eating it by the handful.

Make sure that cereal (brown Rice Krispies) is gluten free.  The most popular version contains barley malt!  

The candy sounds yummy!  ?

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.
