If you're looking for a quick, easy to make, mouthwatering treat, and you like peanut butter, chocolate, and dancing tastebuds, this is for you!
You guys, I LOVE peanut butter and chocolate together. Not the store bought kind though, my heart infused kind. My recipes are specialized with love and use only organic, whole foods to come together to delight the senses. I could not eat a peanut butter cup from the package- that little 'puck' of sugar would have me keeled over, having a 'sugar attack' but I have found a really yummy snackable treat to take the place of the cravings of those flavors. l know sometimes my recipes can be a bit extravagant and take a bit more time than everyone has (as per my momma's critique) so, here are some easy ones that are just as delicious as any three layer, ice cream cake I share! Would you like to give them a try?
These are really easy and I make variations of these on a constant rotation, along with my other vegan, gluten free, healthy confectioneries that I share here with you so if you haven't seen my blog yet and you like things that not only taste sweet but actually are sweet, there is surely something there to tickle your taste buds!
What you need:
BASE
- 1 cup almonds
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup raw cacao powder
- 1/4 cup coconut nectar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2 tbs goji berries
- 1 tsp vanilla
- pinch of sea salt
TOPPING
- 3/4 cup organic peanut butter (check ingredients for only peanuts and sea salt)
- 1/4-1/2 cup coconut nectar
- 1/4-1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup peanuts
- 1 tsp vanilla
- pinch sea salt
What to do:
BASE:
- Take your base ingredients and blend them in a food processor
- Blend into a thick, chewy brownie type substance
- Pack down into a dish that is coated in coconut oil
- Put in freezer
TOPPING:
- Mix all your topping ingredients (except peanuts) in a bowl with a wooden spoon
- Once you have a creamy consistency, add in the peanuts and smooth them in
- Place this mixture in the freezer on top of the base
- Let this sit for about 30 mins
- Remove from freezer and use cookie cutters to make the shapes you choose (I chose hearts because... well
) ;)
