Vegan Raspberry Bounty Bars

Vegan Raspberry Bounty Bars

Vegan Raspberry Bounty Bars Since so many of you loved my Blueberry Bounty Bars I thought I would create another variation and shoot a video this time to show you just how easy they are to make at home! If you've never heard of bounty bars, they're basically a sweet coconut bar covered with a lush chocolate shell. I believe there is something similar in the US but under the name of 'Almond Joy'? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I have seen many American bloggers making these Almond Joy bars and they seem very similar to Bounty bars minus the almond! Bounty bars don't come in any other flavour apart from plain old coconut. Again please correct me if I'm [...]

Strawberry Salted Caramel Cheesecake Bars

Strawberry Salted Caramel Cheesecake Bars

Strawberry Salted Caramel Cheesecake Bars Strawberries and chocolate are always a good combination. The complex flavour and sweetness of the strawberries complement the depth of taste and bitterness of the dark chocolate so well. Another great combination with either/or is salted caramel! Seriously, those three flavours are a combination made in heaven - one that you must try asap if you haven't already! Initially I had the idea of creating a salted caramel strawberry cheesecake, but I didn't just want to stop there. I wanted to make something a little different but equally moreish if not even more so. That's when I had the idea of creating these strawberry salted caramel cheesecake bars individually covered with a dark chocolate shell, because who doesn't love [...]

Raw Salted Caramel Brownies

Raw Salted Caramel Brownies

Raw Salted Caramel Brownies A treat to satisfy your chocolate cravings without any processed sugar, processed oils or any other nasty added ingredients. I'm a huge fan of energy/bliss balls - basically any snack made out of dates and nuts. They make a great snack because they're high in fibre, good fats and they're sweet without the need to add any kind of processed refined sugars. Nothing beats whole dates as a form of sweetener, not even the sugar-free varieties, which we are yet to find out their long-term effects as they're relatively new to our diets. Instead of blending dates and nuts and shaping them into balls, I added in some cocoa powder into the mix and pressed the mixture into [...]

Vegan Blueberry Bounty Bars

Vegan Blueberry Bounty Bars

Vegan Blueberry Bounty Bars I'm really enjoying coming up with healthier vegan and gluten-free alternatives to some of my favourite treats and chocolate bars. I've already made my own healthified versions of Twix bars and Snickers and naturally I had to move on to creating a healthier version of bounty bars next! Bounty bars are up there as one of my all time favourite chocolate bars. As you may be able to tell by now, I don't actually just have one favourite - I have many favourites that I like equally. The original bounty offers nothing in terms of nutrition. My version is higher in fibre and minerals like copper, iron, magnesium, zinc and manganese. And even though I used maple syrup to sweeten they're still [...]
