Here’s the recipe for that fantastic, healthy homemade candy I mentioned last week! Give it a try — you won’t be sorry!
Coconut Bark — Almond Joy
When I make it, I use 2 tablespoons of agave for the sweetener. My batches are somewhat separating when frozen. I encourage you to whisk it all together well.
Edit 2/18/08 — I made a good (in terms of non-separating) [...]

Here are chocolate chunks that I made using agave as the sweetener. These are not overly sweet either, like the xylitol sweetened chocolate chunks. One could reduce the coconut oil and increase the agave to increase the overall sweetening.

2/3 cup raw agave syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional) — OR — 1/2 teaspoon mint [...]

We long ago gave up chocolate chips because of the dairy in them. Then we gave up the dairy-free chocolate chips because of the sugar in them. Until recently, we were buying and eating grain-sweetened chocolate chips. Then I realized that even those don’t work for us, because the grain sweetening comes from barley malt, [...]

Following Tammy’s procedure and proportions in her Pecan Nut Crust, I used half hazelnuts and half almonds to create the nut crust for pumpkin pie yesterday. I pre-baked it for 10 minutes at 325 degrees. Then I filled it with the pumpkin pie filling. Just delicious! Thanks for a great recipe, Tammy!

Last night we feasted on vanilla ice cream sundaes. This chocolate syrup is amazing, just incredible. Goopy, thick, drizzly, sweet, dark… It includes the healthiest forms of all ingredients, but still is an indulgence! Use it as a glaze, or make chocolate milk by mixing it with nut milk.

This carrot cake is fantastic. This is the plate of carrot cake squares I just prepared for a potluck tomorrow at church.
In creating this cake, my aim wasn’t to copy regular white-flour and white-sugar carrot cake. My goal was to make a cake that my family would love that had the [...]
