Twix Bars

It's no secret I love to recreate family favourite recipes, and this chocolate bar is no exception. The original Twix Bars were always something we fought for as siblings when we got the chocolate bar pick and mix on road trips. It brings back memories for sure. Now this version with it's baked shortbread base, gooey caramel filling and chocolate coating literally melts in your mouth!

Salted Peanut Butter Cups

My best friend growing up was originally from the US, so I was introduced to American candy early! When my family moved cities, I missed my supply of Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter Cups and Peanut Butter M&M's (and my friend too of course!). Nowadays, these chocolate candies are way too sweet for my taste buds, however, this version you CAN enjoy in moderation, without the trans fats and refined sugar.

Pesto Croquettes

Who doesn't love a hot croquette? Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, just delicious.Traditional potato croquettes are deep-fried, stuffed with breadcrumbs and in my opinion, somewhat bland by themselves.I give you the pesto croquette! Is there anything that pesto does not make taste better? I think not.I used my go-to vegan cashew pesto recipe for these, but you can use whatever pesto recipe you like, or heck, buy the pesto (just be careful to source a pesto made with olive oil, not canola).

Drool Worthy Raw Caramel Slice

I realised the other day I didn't have a Caramel Slice recipe on the website (despite making this one numerous times) and in my humble opinion, every good website needs a Caramel Slice recipe ;) I’ve remade this classic decadence using only wholesome and natural ingredients, as I always found the original very sickly sweet. Just me?

Chocolate Chia Pudding

I'm a total sucker for foods with great texture. That's why I love a good chia pudding! I know most people are very polarised and either love or hate these little seeds, but I'm a fan!Other than the great texture, and the delicious taste you can create (when using this recipe!) chia seeds are also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants, and they provide fiber, iron, and calcium.

Healthy Afghans

Who doesn't love an Afghan biscuit? Grain-free and refined sugar-free, these biscuits don't contain the usual cornflakes, flour, and sugar that the original recipe calls for, but give the same decadent satisfaction and are a real crowd pleaser.

Chocolate & Caramel Nut Slice

Many raw 'caramel' slices online these days are full of sugar, which taste beautiful but will spike your insulin levels (which tell your body to store fat if it's in excess) and trigger your body to want more and more!This decadent slice is not the same. With natural sweetness from the coconut and only one teaspoon of rice malt syrup, it won't dramatically spike your blood sugars and send you into a food coma! Yay. I do caution you however, that it's so delicious you will want to store it out of sight!
