Almond Butter Chocolate Bars

Pin It
Almond butter chocolate bars, almond butter chocolate bars. Almond. Butter. Chocolate. Bars. No matter how many times I say these words out loud, I know, they are not peanut butter chocolate bars.

Last November I discovered I have a mild peanut allergy. Lately, I’ve been desperate to satisfy my peanut craving.  Only a smooth nut butter will do. This is no simple substitution, as I’m sure some may already know. Nut butters are REALLY expensive. Also, I have been unsuccessful in my search for a creamy almond butter.  So, I have determined I must solve this peanut craving by creaming almond butter with butter and powdered sugar to create a light, airy texture. Butter and sugar make everything better, right? So I bring you dairy free almond butter chocolate bars.

Dairy Free Coconut Ice Cream

Pin It
I know it has been far too long since my last ice cream post but it’s not my fault! I’ve made two batches since this last gem and my husband, oh my husband, has eaten them before I’ve gotten any photos! The concept of making food and photographing it before eating is completely beyond him. So I know its not a good an excuse, but it’s all I got. 

So in the last few weeks I’ve have had some things happening in my life, some family things, some personal things, and some things that still need more things. I’m sure there will be more to come on what those things are. But for now, one of those things is my effort to avoid dairy. This whole avoid dairy thing in no easy task! My biggest problem is just forgetting that it’s my goal. I am working on it though so this week I bring you dairy free coconut ice cream!
