Cacao Quinoa Crunch Bites
A crunchy base and topping with a deliciously rich cacao filling…These bites are ideal for an energy boosting snack or treat to satisfy those sweet cravings.

Carob, Blueberry & Chocolate Chip Muffins
Have you ever tried carob before? A delicious alternative to using cocoa or cacao, this caffeine-free option still gives a chocolatey sweet taste but is less bitter and has a roasted, naturally sweet flavour. I love using it in different recipes and coupled with blueberries, it makes the tastiest muffins that can be enjoyed for […]
Vegan White Chocolate, Cacao & Coconut Bites

White Chocolate, Berry & Almond Tarts
