Homemade Junior Mints Recipe

I made you Homemade Junior Mints!  Junior Mints are a childhood favorite for many people.  If you are not familiar with Junior Mints, they have a minty soft center covered by chocolate.  Junior Mints have always been my husband’s favorite candy, so I set out to make a clean recipe for them.  Here is the ingredient list for Junior Mints that I found at Ask.com:

“Sugar, semi sweet chocolate, corn syrup, modified food starch, confectioner’s glaze, invertase, soya albumin and gelatin.” 
Okay, I don’t even have a clue why they need so many ingredients.  Especially weird ones like invertase?  What the heck is that??  I am proud to say my Homemade Junior Mints only contain simple ingredients!

Super Moist Flourless Brownies (Vegan)

Super Moist Flourless Brownies.  Who doesn’t like brownies?  My Thick and Fudgy Brownie recipe is very popular.  But it’s not flourless.  I also have a Grain Free Blondie recipe that still is not flourless.

Since so many people try to avoid those things, I started to think about black bean brownie recipes.  There are so many flourless brownie recipes out there.

I have actually attempted flourless brownies in the past, but many have been fails.  So I decided to try a successful black bean brownie recipe.

I even shared this black bean brownie recipe on my Facebook page in the past.  I used Sugar Free Mom’s recipe as inspiration, but slightly tweaked it to make it oil free.

If you haven’t checked out Sugar Free Mom, you need to.  She has great recipes and many are sugar free and gluten free.

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan)

I made you cookies!  Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies. The other day I shared a Healthier Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.  They were not gluten free cookies.

It was a recipe I had created a while back.  Nowadays, I am doing more and more gluten free baking, so I thought I would try a gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipe as well.  These healthy chocolate chip cookies came out better than I expected.
