I'm pretty sure what i used was Ghirardelli. That seems to be the brand that fills the centers. And flat squares.
Last year i was working on a recipe for a peanut butter type cup that does not use so much powdered sugar and other type of fillings not necessarily 'peanut'. That is when i found the above recipe. I went way off track. But did find that peanut powder would work since the oil is removed, then tried coconut flour...then ended up making tiny truffles. And 6 varieties to suit everyone. This was for a charity event money raiser at work. Every allergy is represented in the work force so it was a bit of a challenge. Less sugar/sweet comes from a dozen or so co-workers that wanted a rich dark chocolate 'peanut butter cup' but not sweet like the basic reese cup. Then the 'no peanuts', no gluten, no dairy, etc started. Truffles were easier.
It was a total fail getting it all trialed and ready for ValentinesD
ay so i'm at it again...(for x-mas)...they want my salsa for Thanksgiving. To take home to family. I recently made a hot sauce and they want that also...oy, i have no time!
(I ordered a box of Hatch chilis from NewMexico that i smoked and froze.)
I'm thinking of using coconut flour to thicken the nutella and maybe ground pistachios...here i go again, lol.
My inspiration is Hu, an NYC kitchen/take-out place. Fantastic products at a very high cost. I can spend 50 and make 500dollars or more for charity.
If you google their menu you will find many recipes as they list all ingredients.
Our charity budget was 200 for years and then i decided to take that 200dollars and make products...it is really just my time invested but it has turned into 4-5 thousand we give now. Then i take out a hundred from every thousand and buy ingredients and containers...all good.
I'm off work today for a three day rare weekend and having some time to think about the holidays...

Comments (2)Hi Monica, I'm am a similar diet, but a bit more restrictive. You should seriously look into using Stevia or Medjool dates for sweetness in recipes, snacks, and drinks. Dates are rather high is sucrose and have some glucose, but are so rich you really can't eat that many at once anyway. Stevia is a tropical herb which has been throughly tested and no adverse reactions observed. Purified Stevia extracts, available at most health food stores, is 200-400X sweeter than the same amount of refined sugar (but there is no sugar in Stevia). I use both to flavor teas, make non-bake form cakes, and raw as afternoon snacks. If you want any info, just email me :o) Stephen...See MoreThe Nutella Nutters recipe ALERT!
Comments (2)patti, sure sounded like a good recipe...and gluten free too. After making them, I even went to the newspaper website to see if there was anything different. There wasn't. I have never tried Nutella (the second ingredient is palm oil, a no no in our diet) but thought this recipe would be something special for a gluten intolerant friend....See MoreCHRISTMAS HOUSE TOUR I Cooking Recipes, Decor, and Holiday Cheer
Comments (5)Gorgeous house and I love that they made all the food themselves. I felt bad for him when he was carving the rib roast— it was overdone because he was using their new oven which had incorrect calibration —but he rallied like a pro and made it look appetizing on the platter. That ability to roll with the punches is the mark of a really good host. That little conversation about lighting candles and filling the water goblets… I usually ask my mother to do that as she likes to belp and those are jobs she can do. This year she couldn’t carry the ice bucket or a full silver pitcher of water into the dining room and got one of my nephews to help while she supervised. All the food looked appetizing and the place settings were wonderful—LOVED the dessert spoon service with agate handles! And that was the most impressive gingerbread house! I did wonder why a veal pie was on the dessert table 🤔 but I’m sure they must have had a reason. I really want their china room…"...See MoreAllergy Friendly Holiday Recipes
Comments (7)Does no meat include seafood? Here are two of my favorite allergy friendly recipes, not for the same meal, but just because I love them both: Forbidden Rice Salad -link The original recipe is from Whole foods and does not include a pic. This is a different salad pic from pinterest and it looks like they added pomegranate seeds and used parsley instead of cilantro...it's just such a pretty salad I wanted to include a pic.
