Here is another recipe perfect for your holiday celebrations. Salted Caramel Pistachio Bark is super delicious! My husband almost at the whole thing in one sitting! This salted caramel pistachio bark would make a yummy treat for Santa too. All you need is 5 ingredients! If love pistachios as much as I do, you will also love this recipe.

To make the caramel for this recipe, I just cooked down my Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk. It worked great, although it does take some time to cook down. This yummy bark recipe is vegan, gluten free and paleo. I hope you enjoy it.

The holidays are approaching fast and now it’s time to share all kind of sweet treats. Today I have some Pecan Caramel Truffles that are out of this world.

This was originally going to be a recipe for energy bites, but I thought they were a bit too rich. Much better suited as a dessert. This healthy truffle recipe is a cinch to make and it will be a hit with anyone.

It only took me a few minutes to whip up these Pecan Caramel Truffles. If you enjoy all things pecan and caramel, you will also like my pecan caramel ice cream and my cinnamon pecan cookies.

Chocolate Coffee Cookies. The other day I made some Grain Free Sugar Cookies. I was so pleased with the way they came out, that I decided to make a chocolate version. Since chocolate and coffee go so well together, I made this new recipe. Coffee cookies.

I knew it was going to be a winner, when I couldn’t stop eating the batter! That is one thing I love about vegan cookies. The dough is completely safe to eat! 🙂

This easy cookie recipe is perfect. Chewy on the outside and soft in the middle. You have got to try them!

Chocolate Pecan Pie. If you are still struggling with what dessert to serve for Thanksgiving, I got you covered with this healthy vean pecan pie.

Not only is this delectable pecan pie made healthier, but it’s also vegan, gluten free and grain free. If you love pecans, you may also like my flourless cinnamon pecan cookies, pecan pie granola, or my classic pecan pie recipe.

This happens to be super easy to make as well. You can make this ahead of time too. This would be awesome topped with some coconut whip cream, or served with a side of my pecan caramel ice cream. Yum!

Vanilla Creme Truffles

October 25, 2015 Melissa King 12 Comments

If you have been following this blog for awhile, you know I love truffle recipes. Since I am more of a vanilla girl, I wanted to make some Vanilla Creme Truffles. I used vanilla beans instead of extract. The vanilla beans are a must try! They add so much more vanilla flavor without the alcohol taste. These came out quite delicious. I think they would also be good without the chocolate coating. They are also a super cinch to make. If you also like truffles, you may want to try this recipe. It’s one of the most popular recipes on the blog.

These healthy truffles are vegan, gluten free and paleo. Unlike most of my other truffle recipe, this one calls for a cashew cream for the base instead of coconut butter. I used the cashew cream because I really wanted the vanilla flavor to stand out.

Homemade Snickers Bites (Vegan)

Homemade Snickers Bites. Before I started eating healthy, Snickers bars were one of my weaknesses. Once I became vegan, I could no longer eat them.

So I created these homemade vegan snickers bites to help fill the void. This recipe is super easy and only contains 5 ingredients and very little added sugar.

If you like my German Chocolate Bites, you will love these homemade vegan snickers bites as well. I could also see these going really well as an ice cream topping. Yum!!

This recipe is vegan, gluten free and paleo. You can probably make it nut free buy using sunflower seeds in place of the nuts.
