preferably no bake. Miss 6 did peppermint and chocolate creams - but doesn't actually like the peppermint taste. What else can you recommend that she can bake all by herself - reading the recipe, and doing the measuring (grammes please). She is allowed to use the microwave but not the oven. Nothing involving hot sugar either please. Preferably gluten free too... ?

This was a huge hit at Christmas time on these boards and so easy to make apparently.
From the thread with Bounty Bar in the title.
I have made these a couple of times and they are very near the real thing. I have also rolled the mixture into balls before dipping. 1 cup coconut, 2 tbls. icing sugar, condensed milk as needed, 200g chocolate dark or milk. Mix together icing sugar, coconut and enough milk to need to a paste. Shape into pieces and chill for 15 mins. Dip in melted chocolate and leave to set.

I don't think you need to be feeding her lollies and heaps of sugar to get her to gain some weight (sorry to be so blunt - I feel bad saying it to you, but it's true) If you want to do anything with chocolate for her, I'd melt it and use it to coat some fresh or dried fruits/nuts. Good luck =)

Actually the Dr said I should give her extra fat and sugar. She eats heaps - and has a very fast metabolism. She loses weight during the term - and then I have to try and get her to eat more in the holidays - she gtes back to weight and then loses again in the term. She has lots of fresh fruit and veges but they don't pack enough caloriesin! So I like to have a treat in the cupboard (preferably that she has made). She has full fat milk. She eats mountains of great wholesome food. She hates nuts - and there is no way I would feed her dried fruits at her weight!

Coconut Ice Uncooked
This is easy enough for children to make, but popular with adults too. After several days, it becomes rather firm, but it seldom lasts this long!
2 cups desiccated coconut 2 cups icing sugar 1/2 of a 400g can sweetened condensed milk 1 tsp vanilla essence 1/4 tsp raspberry essence (optional) 4-5 drops of red food colouring Extra coconut for coating
Measure the coconut and icing sugar into a food processor or large bowl. Tip the condensed milk on top. Add the vanilla then process in bursts or mix with a flexible stirrer, then your hands.
Sprinkle some of the extra coconut on a sheet of plastic on a flat work surface. Press out half the mixture about 20cm square on the coconut. Add the raspberry essence and enough food colouring to give a pale pink colour to the mixture left in the bowl, mix in, then shape as previously.
Lay the pink layer on top of the white layer. Sprinkle a little extra coconut on top. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or longer, then cut into squares with a wet knife. Refrigerate until required, and eat after a few hours.

Poster requested "preferably Gluten free"... ... ... the recipes with crushed wine , ginger and other biscuits are NOTgluten free... . . they need to be made with Gluten free biscuits to be gluten free... ... . that gets expensive... . . those with flour or self-raising flour are also not Gluten free... . oh some of these recipes sound divine but not for some of us... . There is an easyrice bubble one with honey, butter and I think some sugar ... . as well as rice bubbles... . . here's a suggestionto make it Gluten free Rice bubble slice made with Freedom Gluten free rice bubbles would be better than using ordinary rice bubbles that have been barley malted ... ... . worth a try and so easy.

We mainly have GF things in our house as two members of the family are GF. It is just so much easier if we make things we can all eat. My 3 year old's favourite is GF choc brownies - which are amazing. But my 6 year old today made chocolate crackles and fruit smoothies and a cheese thing. She is so into cooking. Anyway the tins are full - for a few days...
