You will need:

A microwave safe bowl

A spoon, knife, and fork

Wax paper

Ritz Crackers

Ghirardellli Simi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Directions:

1.  Count out the number of Ritz and Bugles needed. You will need one of each for each treat you are making. Make sure the Bugles are whole and unbroken for a better look.

2. Pour chocolate chips into you microwavable safe bowl ( I like to use a glass measuring cup) and melt them in the microwave until thoroughly melted. I usually try stirring them after ever 30 seconds.

3. Dip you Ritz and you Bugles into the chocolate one by one and use your fork to allow extra chocolate to drip off. Lay them out on wax paper and let them harden.  

4. When the chocolate has hardened, use your knife to put a small dollop of peanut butter on the middle of the Ritz and push a Bugle into the peanut butter.

5. Sprinkle your chocolate sprinkles into the peanut butter.

Enjoy!

Skittles

Like I’ve said before, I’ve got a sweet tooth.

Since last week I talked about chocolate, I thought I would mix things up this week and focus on something sweet and fruity.

One of my favorite go to fruity candies is…. Skittles!

Up until 2009 the Skittles sold in the Untied States contained gelatin, which is most commonly made from animal bi-products; while the Skittles sold in other countries (like India) did not contain gelatin and we indeed vegan.

When Mars made the switch over to a gelatin free formula, the candy became both vegan and gluten free.

I don’t think that I need to tell y’all how awesomely fruity Skittles are, as they are a pretty common mainstream candy.

If you have yet to try Skittles, you should really grab a bag. You can find them almost everywhere that sells candy and they are pretty cheap too!

This time of year you can also find them in the individual bags, perfect for giving out on Halloween.

In fact, I know that I will be giving out Skittles, among other things, to my trick or treaters this year; I love that they are guilt free for me to buy, plus I can eat whatever candy I have left over! (:

You can always check the back of  you Skittles bag for the words "Gelatin-Free" to ensure that your candy is vegan!

What candy will you be giving out on Halloween?

Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups.

If you know me at all, you know I love sweets. I have a huge sweet tooth, and I could never successfully follow any kind of food plan or diet that cut out sugar; I love to bake sweets and I love to eat them! (:

With Halloween right around the corner, I want to share some great Vegan takes on some traditional holiday candies!

This week, I want to talk about Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups.

These little slices of heaven are organic, GMO free, and vegan. The sweet dark chocolate outside of these cups complements the creamy rich peanut butter inside so well it's hard to believe that each cup is only 80 calories (which is 30 calories less then the other guy's better known peanut butter cup). 

In fact, when you compare them to the leading competitors peanut butter cups, they look even better!

In addition to having less calories, they also have 7 fewer grams of fat then their competitors and 0 grams of cholesterol (compared to the 5 grams of cholesterol in the other cups).

I got mine at Whole Foods, in a bag of individually wrapped candies, which is perfect and just in time to fill my Halloween candy dishes.

These delectable met in your mouth peanut butter cups are a must try in my book. If you like dark chocolate, you will love these! They may not come in an orange wrapper, but I was very pleased with how these tasted and I will definitely be getting these again. 

Due to the fact that they have fewer calories, fat, and cholesterol they are great to try yourself and great to share with anyone looking to eat healthier. 

I hope you guys give these a try, you won't be sorry!

If you do try them, comment bellow and let me know what you think!

Note: Only the dark chocolate cups are vegan, the milk chocolate cups contain milk. If you look at the wrapper in the secound  picture, you can see that by the bar code these are actually marked vegan to make identifying them that much easier!
