Chocolate Peppermint Truffles (Vegan)

Chocolate Peppermint Truffles.  This time of year makes me think of chocolate.  So how about some chocolate peppermint truffles?  Truffles, cookies, brownies to name a few.  It seems like there are always sweet treats going around at parties.

I have been trying to come up with cleaner versions.  This chocolate peppermint truffle recipe is another one of those.  Only 4 ingredients and just a few minutes!

 

Chocolate Peppermint Truffles

 

I got the idea for these peppermint truffles after making my Chocolate Pistachio Truffles.  These healthy truffles are so good and they just melt in your mouth.

The best part?  They can literally be made in minutes!  I used to think truffles were hard to make, but this recipe proved me wrong.  It couldn’t be easier.

Cashew Cookie Larabar Bites (Vegan)

Cashew Cookie Larabar Bites.  So I have almost made every single larabar flavor there is now.  They are just so easy and taste way better than the store bought versions.

I made the Carrot Cake Larabars the other day and my baby girl loved them so much!  This is huge because she has a G tube and eats a lot of her food through that.

So to have her interested in orally enjoying those snacks was a big deal.  I have had many requests for the Cashew Cookie flavor so I whipped them up today.  I added 1 extra ingredient that I think takes these to the next level.

The ground vanilla beans really perk this recipe right up.  They are so good! You can also use vanilla extract, but I would only use 1 teaspoon instead of two.

Carrot Cake Larabar Bites (Vegan)

Carrot Cake Larabar Bites.  I know that you all love larabars.  I have had several requests for the carrot cake bar recipe, so I thought I would create you these carrot cake larabar bites.

The flavor of these carrot cake larabar bites of reminded me of my Coconut Cream Larabars and also my No Bake Pumpkin Pie Cookies.

I checked the ingredient list on Larabar’s website and created my recipe based on those ingredients.   I am hoping it tastes similar to the store bought version.

I am not a huge carrot cake fan, but my husband is.  My baby daughter LOVED this recipe.  That was a surprise to me.  Very kid friendly. 🙂  They are also vegan, gluten free and grain free.
