Alert – Foodgasm Ahead!! Chocolate Covered Strawberries (with homemade dark and white chocolate – vegan and sugar free)
*You don’t HAVE to make the chocolate with cashew butter! Skip it for a creamier finish.
*Cool the berries, then re-dip in chocolate until you achieve your desired chocolate thickness. I prefer a thin layer,

From me to You: Raw Carrot Cake Cookies. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Needless to say, I ate um’ all up in like 2 minutes…and of course wanted more, but at nearly $6.00 for a bag…no can do. So I kept the little bag, made note of the ingredients (only 5), and then started making my own. It took a while to find the right ratios, but I did it! And my homemade creation taste just like the store bought variety. So much more cost effective to make them. My kids eat these up like gangbusters. I made my family a batch with Valentine’s Day in mind and wanted to share them with you. I also thought these cookies went well with this month’s “Go Ahead Honey” theme hosted by the lovely Heather at Gluten Free Cat. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Valentine’s filled with love and laughter!

Raw Cranapple Sauce





Isn’t it amazing how EASY they are? (maybe too easy in my case. . . ha ha!!). I love the idea of using carob. It may not be chocolate, but it’s totally delicious in its own right. Yum!
These look awesome! They look like reese’s! I haven’t used cocoa butter before and haven’t seen it in any stores, where do you get yours?
Thanks for sharing your experience with raw cacao. I have never had any problems with it, but I would love to experiment more with carob powder. And yes-naptime is sooo critical in my household too! I am really looking forward to trying this treat and playing around with delicious carob.
I’m intensely craving chocolate on the SCD! After a few years on this diet, I think chocolate (or carob) will be the first thing I re-introduce. I’m going to give the white chocolate version a try for now, and see if that will satisfy my craving! This is a creative and beautiful recipe, as always!
You know, I make a version of raw chocolate with coconut oil and cacao powder, and have always been meaning to try it with carob. I haven’t quite graduated to using cacao butter (hehe) but these certainly make me want to try it, and soon! Maybe for now I’ll test the waters with a carob and coconut oil concoction, then when I’m ready to take the plunge I’ll come back to these for inspiration.
I’m very interested in the SCD white chocoate! Can’t wait to see it!
Ooh, the white chocolate variation sounds incredible! I hope you’ll do a post all about that one!
Oh my goodness, I’m so happy I just discovered your blog. Like your husband, I do LOVE chocolate– but I definitely feel the stimulating effects! I’m learning to love carob, so perhaps these little cups will satisfy my cravings!
The white chocolate version sounds divine!
Oh, beautiful and delish candy, Amber! I should make some and them to my son. He was just discovering some gluten-free, carob candy goodness at our farmer’s market before he left home.
xo,
Shirley
I think these could satisfy any chocolate lovers craving. No chocolate needed. Lovely.
oh my gosh those white chocolates sound incredible! i’ve really been craving chocolate since going SCD. I’m totally going to make that tomorrow! YUM! Also — question for you: do you eat Larabars on the SCD? (the ones without chocolate) The ingredients appear to be SCD legal: (dates, almonds, cashews, unsweetened cherries) but I just don’t want to risk it. I tend not to trust anything “processed.” Thanks!
Oh my goodness! I just found raw organic cocoa butter here locally yesterday. These sound amazing and I’m definitely trying the white chocolate option. YUM!
you make it sound so easy – one day I’ll have to give it a try, but I’ve not seen cocoa butter around, I’ll have to search it out, I’ve a friend’s birthday coming up, and what says “I love you” better than home-made treats? thanks:)
MMmmmm these look great too! A perfect holiday gift for the vegans and loved ones with allergies in my life!
How interesting about the link between chocolate and eczema – I had it really bad when I was younger and it has sort of been cured after being on oral Lamisil (hated the side effects of that) but I’ve seen it coming back here and there and now wonder how much my diet might affect it. Thanks so much for sharing at Sweet Saturday!
Thank you so much for this recipe. I am a chocoholic but it doesn’t agree with me and I’m not ready to expose my baby to it’s effects either. I’ve just ordered some cocoa butter so I’m going to make these for Christmas.
Thank you for the white chocolate recipe too. I never thought I’d eat white chocolate again. I used to love that!
Thanks Katherine. My kids LOVE these little “chocolates.” The white chocolate is a little difficult with honey. I recommend blending the ingredients well before you put into molds. The honey is heavy and sinks to the bottom and separates. I’m slowly working on an actual recipe for SCD white chocolate.
wow
