real food. real life.
So, I credit my mother-in-law, Laura, for finding these gems! They are a perfect sweet treat! With a secret healthy ingredient to boot! I knew I was getting the hang of this whole food, vegan-style cooking when I could name off the short list of ingredients in these beauties with just a look and taste! Vegan treats are so easy to make, have a very short list of ingredients, and are usually packed with nutrients (as well as sugars & fats - the good kind - but still there, just be aware!)
These squares are often called "grasshoppers". Here's a link to the recipe. I used this recipe, but doubled the ingredients to make bigger squares. :) Here's what I did! Total Time: 20 minutes? If even that! Ingredients: Mint Layer - 2 whole avocados, skin & seed removed 1/2 cup honey (could try maple syrup or stevia) 3/4 cup coconut oil 3 cups shredded unsweetened coconut 6/8 teaspoons of mint/peppermint extract or food-grade essential oil dash of sea salt Chocolate Layer - 1/2 cup coconut oil 1/4 cup honey (could try maple syrup or stevia) 1/2 cup cocoa powder 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract dash of sea salt Mint Layer Instructions
