Vegan Spider Web Peanut Butter Cups
Peanut butter cups are my all time favorite Halloween candy. Or just favorite candy growing up in general. Whenever we would get home with our stash of Halloween candy, we would dump it out on the floor and divide it into piles of what we wanted to keep and what we wanted to trade. I […]
Vegan Chocolate Pumpkin Cake Roll
October is over and I hadn’t baked any pumpkin cake yet this year! I made other pumpkin things like pumpkin bars and cookies but no cake, my favorite thing! It has been a bit busy this Fall, more busy than normal it seems for me. But it is being busy with all good things like […]
Vegan Almond Joy Bites
I admit that growing up, Almond Joy and Mounds candy bars weren’t my first choice when it came to the candy swapping. I wasn’t a big fan of that syrupy sweet weird textured coconut inside, that didn’t taste like actual coconut but more like it had coconut flavor in it or something. Which is why […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte Caramels
Halloween just a few short weeks away, and up until a few days ago I hadn’t made any candy this year yet! I always make peanut butter cups, and I need to get around to those, but this week, the first thing I made was some pumpkin spice latte caramels. I am not usually a […]
Poison Apple Martini
I have been craving some apple cider lately, so when I saw some honeycrisp apple cider at Trader Joes for a good price I had to get some. The most important thing for me when it comes to store bought cider is that it has one ingredient, apples of course. This one fit that requirement, […]
DIY Vegan Halloween Candy Recipes
When I was little, I loved dressing up for Halloween. I think I was a cat the most, since that was always my favorite animal. I wasn’t very imaginative when it came to costumes. I also enjoyed the candy. I mean, who didn’t as a child?! My friends and I would always dump out or […]
Vegan Peppermint Patties
Peppermint patties are completely unique when it comes to Halloween candy. Unless you count the red and white after dinner hard candy peppermints your Grandma gave out when unexpected trick or treaters came by, they are pretty much the only minty candy out there (that I am aware of). I admit they weren’t usually my […]
Mini Vegan Whatchamacallit Bars
Eric occasionally asks me to make him things that he used to enjoy as a child, and the latest was a vegan Whatchamacallit bar. If you haven’t heard of them, they are chocolate bars with peanut butter crisp and caramel. To be completely honest, I think the last time I had one was probably in […]
Vegan Maple Nut Cheesecake Dark Chocolates
I have been in a candy making mood lately. Most likely because Halloween is coming up, and I don’t buy candy at the store, but I love making it! When I make my own, I can control the ingredients that go into it, which are always good quality. I have made copy cat versions of […]
Vegan Milky Way Swirl Brownies
Fall is in full swing, the leaves are falling from the trees, there is a chill in the air, and I am feeling really good because I love this moderate/cool weather. It is the perfect time of the year for a long run, walk outside in the woods to admire the trees, or trip to […]
Mini Vegan Snickers Cheesecakes
When I was little and dressed up and went out for Halloween, to be honest, the dressing up part was my favorite of everything, even over the candy. It was fun to be able to pretend to be someone or something else for a night. My favorite costume was not all that exciting, a black […]
Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups
When it comes to Halloween candy, I have always gone for the chocolate over every other type of candy. You can have the smarties, suckers, and jolly ranchers…I was all about the Reese’s peanut butter cups, Snickers, and Milky Ways. I am still this way as an adult. Not that I buy commercial candy at […]
Mini Raw Salted Caramel Mounds Bars
I always have to make some sort of Halloween candy every year, and I like to switch it up and make at least one new thing. I have made most of the favorite chocolate candies, but I realized I have never made Mounds bars! I have made Almond Joy, but not Mounds. Both of these […]
Raw Nut Goodie Bites
Nut goodies. The name brings back memories of biting into a maple cream and crunchy peanut goodness coated in smooth chocolate. A child’s dream dessert. I have to admit when I was little they ranked right up there with Reese’s PB cups if not higher. They are made right here in Minnesota, and I […]
