Kit Kat Christmas Friends 100 Assorted Milk Chocolate Christmas Figures Bulk Chocolate Box, 820 g

Product Information

This is a great recipe if you have little helpers in the kitchen too – just make sure you push the KitKat chocolate in as the tray and cookie bars will still be very hot. However, as the KitKat festive friends chocolate contains dairy, these wouldn’t be suitable for the elimination phase of the diet. You’re welcome to omit these or use any other lactose-free alternatives, though they can be hard to find. They should have a lovely, crisp and even, golden exterior that’s slightly risen at the edges. You definitely DON’T want any signs of browning with this one! Fast-forward to 2020 and I never would have imagined that I’d be creating a recipe like this here on the blog. Certainly not! You will need a good quality 9 inch x 9 inch square though, so here’s a link to the one I use. Does this recipe need xanthan gum?

You’re more than welcome to, but both are a little overkill for this recipe. I personally find that an electric hand whisk is the best option here. Bear in mind that minimising cross-contamination is hugely important if you’re Coeliac or making this for someone who is. Here’s some tips from Coeliac UK on minimising the risk of cross contamination. However, if you omit these, then this is a nut-free recipe – just please ensure all products you use are nut-free too! Where do I find the KitKat Christmas chocolate (festive friends)? Are they gluten-free? A stand mixer makes making buttercream a breeze and an electric whisk speeds up mixing the cake batter. They’re the lovely PROPER chocolate you’d get in a real KitKat, with little crunchy biscuit bites that are totally gluten-free. How cool is that? Here’s a few reasons you need to make my gluten-free Christmas cookie bars recipe if you weren’t convinced just by that revelation! Why make my gluten-free Christmas cookie bars recipe?

Gluten-free Christmas cookie bars recipe – it’s definitely not all about mince pies in our house this Christmas! Yep – the KitKat Santas and festive friends you see on top are Coeliac-friendly and wheat-free too.

Grab a skewer and give it a poke in the centre. If it comes out clean, then it’s done! You might get a little chocolatey residue on there, but that’s ok too. You can of course, use either for both tasks too, just make sure you clean your stand mixer bowl in between of course. Can I make this recipe completely by hand? If you use lactose-free chocolate/choc chips in the cookie bars – that makes the cookie bars low FODMAP. Just ensure your lactose-free chocolate doesn’t contain any other high FODMAP ingredients. I can definitely understand the need to reduce sugar in our foods, but this is one of the recipes where I wouldn’t advise removing it from the cake batter itself.

Of course, who could forget a little crushed candy cane on top for a sweet, festive finish? You can either flavour these with orange or mint extract for the ultimate choc orange/mint choc finish too.Of course, the sugar isn’t just for sweetness. It’s integral to the structure of the cake once baked and is sooo important.
