An Avocado Truffle Cup and a dollop of cacao avocado mousse, that I could live off of, made by my friend Breanne. Yummers.

Avocado Creme Truffle Cups   To be incredibly honest… as of starting this post, I have not assembled these yet. I haven't got the equipment (muffin cups nor silicon muffin pan),

Chocolate Coconut Chia Banana Parfait - a vegan, raw, gluten free, fancy looking option for breakfast! (Or a nice snack).   Usually, I put chia seeds in my smoothies- they are a great source of protein and make me feel like an Aztec warrior (one of the original users of this powerful seed). Ah, ok- they don't actually seem to do that for me, but I still have faith that these little seeds are doing something beneficial. The word "chia" means st

Vegan Peanut Butter Raw Chocolate Rice Krispie Recipe These are so good- and actually, I made them what feels like forever ago… (though it was maybe a month or so), but I still remember them fondly! I had been wanting to make rice krispies for forever, but I wasn't about to shell out $9 for a bag of organic rice crisp cereal. So, imagine my delight when I saw a big bag on sale for $5.99- immense! The universe told me that it was time to make rice krispies. You can definitely make this recipe by using brown rice syrup instead of barley malt syrup (to keep it gluten free), but the latter was on sale (score). So after standing at the check out, Googling whether or not one could make vegan rice krispies with barley malt, and thinking "What if this is my last day on earth a

Nut Free Triple Chocolate Fudge Brownies (vegan, GF, raw)   Good Saturday!   Hope you've all had a super week- mine was not bad. Some ups. Some downs. No neutrals. But mostly ups, I would say, really. One of the ups, and downs, came in the form of these brownies. The up? Very tasty. Very healthy. Can be very easy to make. The down? … I'm a whiner when it comes to anything culinary (other than directly experimenting with Zimt up-and-coming recipes- that I love. Even when it is chaotic and involves me making

Vegan Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies When I was finishing up my first year of uni, I was sorting out what to do with my incredibly long stretch of academic-free freedom. Four months seemed like forever and I definitely needed the break after a gruelling first year at fancy business school. I'd organized a volunteer trip with a few friends and knew I would be working that summer, too. But I

raw truffles, coconut sugar sweetened, raw, organic, vegan, fair trade, delicious, fancy, chocolates- they are here!   Hi Zimtees,   Just wanted to share a bit of news with you- in case you haven't heard… we now have some pretty fancy chocolates in our roster of already pretty fancy chocolates. I wanted to get these ones out in time for Valentine's Day, because, well… apparently these sorts of treats are pretty popular this time of year. Background information, though, needs to be shared. It all started just over three years ago, when I was figuring out how to even remotely begin to think of starting a chocolate company. Having zero idea, there was a lot to learn (and, there still is.). Initially, my idea had been to make a macaroon company. But I felt really

What happens if you bake a Zimt Cookie Dough Cup? At 350F, for 10 minutes (out of the compostable packaging, of course). I have been asked this question many, many times! And up until this afternoon, I only had a hypothesis: the cookie dough cup, due to the coconut oil and coconut butter content, would flatten out like a delicious pancake - coconut oil liquifies with the heat of an oven set to bake cookies. Look what happened:   READ MORE

Cinnamon Spiced Chocolate Chunk Popcorn  

Happy Saturday, Everyone =) I think it is going to be a good day. Why? I'm determined. Why else? … did you read the title of this post? I made this popcorn a few weeks ago to send to a retailer, to whom I am interested in supplying Zimt, as we
