What! today is International Chocolate day! That means a change of plan.
I was editing some curry pictures then decided to showcase Chocolate goodness from the blog ..:)) What say.
Pictured above – Fudgy Milk chocolate Bark with Cranberries and almonds.
This is how we fell in love with cocoa butter. That thing is insanely addictive and melt in your mouth awesome. Hubbs wants a load of cocoa butter in every chocolate recipe or Indian burfi I make. Yes, all those Burfi bars which have loads of ghee(clarified butter) in them, can all me made vegan with this magical goodness called Cocoa butter! It makes them super soft and fudgy and even more delicious.
and this Triple Chocolate Salted caramel Brownie…:)
This one a bit tricky because the caramel consistency changes up the fudgyness leading to varied results. But They are darned awesome! And I am already working on a simpler version!
These Dark Chocolate Cookies. Spelt + almond + dark chocolate + cocoa …
Chocolate Whoopie Pies with spicy chile Chocolate Caramel.
spice.. mmm yes.
There about 8 different Chocolate chip cookies on the blog too.
Find them in the Cookie collection here. 🙂
Or search on the blog for Chocolate chip cookie
These Zesty No Bake Chocolate bars.
Or these Ginger bread Chocolate Nut butter Truffles
Of course there are things like Chocolate yeast Bread Loaf too. Multigrain Chocolate mini Loaf.
And these Gluten-free Chocolate Pretzels. Intriguing I say
More Cakes..
Mocha Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel drizzle
And No Oil Banana chocolate Cake
1 minute Chocolate Mug Cakes. Hazelnut Orange and spiced cakes
Whenever I write something uncomfortable about the food industry, I seem to lose subscribers/readers, and that is discouraging. The posts are meant for information and the questions and answers to help anyone facing tough questions during transition. I would love it if you all stick around and make these recipes, like them enough to continue making them. Its all great, healthy food which also happens to be plant-based. 🙂
We were not born vegan, and everyone comes into the transition at their own pace. This is a reminder I have to give myself often too. Please Be gentle, vegans be gentle to non-vegans and give them time, and non-vegans be gentle to the compassionate and sensitive vegan souls too. 🙂

September 13, 2013 at 8:09 pmSo. Much. Chocolate. Especially love the look of those ginger choc truffles. How did I miss it was International Chocolate day? I eat chocolate every day so I guess I didn’t miss out anyway.
As for choc recipes around these parts: I made Ricki’s Happy Hemp Choc Brownies a couple of days ago http://coconutandberries.com/2013/09/11/h-is-for/ and a little while back made some delicious Chocolate-Sesame Biscotti http://coconutandberries.com/2013/08/27/chocolate-sesame-biscotti/

September 14, 2013 at 1:47 amMy calendar has not informed me of this special day. I don’t know how to find a good one as calenders are sealed when I buy them. How did you find one with such relevant information? I put this post on my Pinterest board for recipes. I also shared on Facebook with the advisory that if anyone makes the whoopie pies, they must send me one.
Richa says
September 14, 2013 at 6:11 pm🙂 thank you for sharing! i hope someone makes them whoopie pies for ya

October 14, 2013 at 12:30 amBefore I became vegan, I could feel my blood pressure rise when I ate any type of chocolate…do you think vegan chocolate or cocoa will have the same affect?
Richa says
October 14, 2013 at 8:04 amI wouldnt know. You should probably try to find out if it was the cocoa, the sugar or the milk content i the chocolate that caused it.
