• Homemade Snickers Bars

  

  These homemade Snickers bars will delight one and all who tried them.  They happen to be vegan, and have no refined sugar. The recipe is originally from the blog Livia’s Kitchen, and is by Olivia Wallenberg.  I duplicated the recipe using a kitchen scale to help translate the original recipe, as several ingredients were listed by […]

• Chocolate Cake Recipe Makeover

  

  I adapted this recipe from from the Guittard Chocolate Cookbook.  The key update is that I substituted olive oil for butter.  I haven’t noticed an actual olive oil flavor, the chocolate remains center stage.  There are several other healthy ingredients – whole wheat flour, pumpkin puree and yogurt.  Using chocolate shavings, instead of chocolate chips, […]
