blowing a chocolate raspberry kiss..

So as a little thank you to the hospital staff for all their care, compassion and understanding last week I though I’d send them a chocolate raspberry kiss.

Well an edible one anyway.

Along with some choc raspberry nut biscuits, I sent up some kale and carrot muffins, apricot and banana muffins and a couple of choc cherry muffins. All made GF, LF, DF, EF and vegan friendly chocolate.

Thought I’d share a pic of the biscuits. Saved a couple for home and they don’t look like they will last the day 🙂

just like a chocolate milkshake only healthier and harder..

Golden roughs. Chocolate crackles. Snickers. All favourites of mine, prior to discovering I was GF.

I still get the occasional twinge for them, a craving every time I hear of a kid’s birthday party (chocolate crackles are always there if it’s a good birthday party) or if I catch a glimpse of the golden shimmer of the golden rough packaging.

Just enough to emit a sigh. Well, sighs will be no more since discovering this recipe courtesy of body change wellness blog.

I made a few changes, but omg these didn’t even last a day in our house. Just delicious!

The Goods:

• 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• 2 tablespoons of pure Cacao
• 1 tablespoon of vegan choc chips
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons of Honey or Maple (for vegans)
• 1 cup of chopped almonds/walnuts
• 1/3 cup of puffed rice
• 1/4 cup of flaxseed meal
• 1/4 almond meal
• 1 cup of sultanas
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (or what I usually do is lightly grease a cookie sheet to drop cookies on). Chop the nuts- use a food processor it’s easier. In a cooking pan on medium heat melt chocolate, coconut oil and honey or maple. Remove from heat and add cinnamon, pecans, and coconut. Drop spoonfuls onto parchment paper and refrigerate until they harden or pop them in the freezer for a bit, like I did.

Simple awesome!
