Vegan Crunchy Sweet and Salty Balls

These are very special, I didn't make them, but someone very special

made them for my birthday!
I love birthday's:)
They were a great treat, I love when I get homemade treats:)
I had to share them with you, they are super simple to make.
I love the salty factor to them, but the chocolate gives it the sweet flavor.
There is crunch too!
For me I couldn't have 1 I ate 3 at a time:)
In up coming posts I will share with you other treats from my birthday!


Vegan Crunchy Sweet and Salty Balls
makes 9 balls

1/2 cup roasted salted cashews
1/3 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup dried coconut flakes
3 Tablespoons sunflower butter
sea salt

In a bowl mix cashews and chocolate chips, with the bottom of a sturdy cup,
mash up nuts and chips.
Just to break them up.
The dried coconut flakes were large pieces, so she chopped them up with a knife,
just until they were half the size.
Then mix the nuts,chips,flakes, and add in the sunflower butter, blend until all is covered.
With your hand make into ball shape, 2 inches in size.
Then sprinkle sea salt over each one.
Let set in refrigerator covered 3 to 4 hours.
They will last 1 week in refrigerator covered:)
They didn't last that long here:)

Vegan Gluten Free Chocolate Cereal Clusters only 2 Ingredients

These are so easy to make! You get big cheers for making these:)
I love chocolate, but only dark, if you like milk chocolate make it with that.
You only need 2 ingredients, a crisp puffed cereal, I used Kashi Organic Morning
Indigo Morning, whole corn cereal with dehydrated dark berries.
Find a good crunch cereal that you like.

 It has a nice crunch, even when covered with dark chocolate:)
The second ingredient is chocolate, you can either use dark or milk whatever you like.

 I used chips, but you could use a bar, and chunk into pieces.

Vegan Gluten Free Chocolate Cereal Clusters
makes 15 pieces

2 cups of a crunch cereal
1 cup chocolate chips or pieces

In a double boiler on medium heat, melt chocolate slowly, when it is fully melted add cereal and mix well.
If you don't have a double boiler, find a heat proof glass bowl or ceramic bowl,
and put on top of a small stock pot with 2 inches of water, you never want the water to touch
the bowl on top.
With a spoon, scoop small balls on a plate to cool!!
These are so good!!!!!!!!
I could have ate them all;)

Put in a cool place, if they are not hardening put into the refrigerator.
They keep well in a air tight container in  the refrigerator!!
Simple recipe, but amazing and delicious flavor:)

                  

Semper gluten free cookies, vanilla biscuits and chocolate chip cookies, vegan? review

When I found these cookies I was not sure about another gluten free cookie.
I have had so many, they are either crumbly, no taste, or hard!:(
So I bought them reluctantly. My first purchase was the vanilla biscuits!
 

I thought vanilla is safe to try:)
I was very surprised at the smell when I opened them, a wonderful vanilla aroma.
The biscuit was firm, no crumble and had a satisfying vanilla taste.
I am so delighted with these biscuits, because they are not so sweet and they have a great texture.
I could have eaten the whole box!!!!!
I could see using them as a pie crust for a yogurt pie of a fruit and cream filling,
wonderful also as a layer in a trifle:)

You get about 12, so don't eat them all at once;)
Yes, about the vegan part the box states, "May contain traces of milk."
So it all depends how strict you are as a vegan?
The end of the post I will put a link to their website.


The next one I tried was the chocolate chip cookies!

They had the same great texture as a the vanilla biscuit, but these had little chocolate chips in the cookie.
The flavor was light chocolate without the chips inside they would be to light for me.
I like a chocolate cookie that is chocolaty, the chips saved it for me:)
I would definitely recommend them!
They also travel well outside the original packaging, I put a few in plastic wrap in my pocket when I
went on a walk No crumbling :) that can be hard to find in a gluten free cookie!

You also get about 12 cookies!
They state the same thing as the vanilla biscuit for trace amount of milk!
So get your delicious cookies!!!!!!!
