Gooey Dream Bars



Last time I made a caramel slice it proved very popular,and was shared many times.

This time I thought I would try another recipe  using peanut butter.I made my own peanut butter by blending together in my high powered blender,2 cups raw peanuts with 2 tbsps peanut oil and pinch sea salt(optional).

Every time I make a caramel slice it vanishes almost straight away.
I think every one likes a caramel slice,especially one that so mimics the sugar butter version.

I have used the same base as my other recipe but the caramel is different really gooey and yummy.
It stays nice and firm if kept in the fridge,and I also keep some in the freezer and get out as needed then sit in the fridge if there is any left for me to do that..

When you are developing raw recipes, your mind runs away with you.
You wonder will this work with this or may be I should leave that out or should I add it. It is definitely trial and error.

With this slice everything fell into place, I do not think you can go wrong with coconut and pineapple, and I was pleasently suprised  how lovely these bars where.

They are easy pezzy to make and can be eaten after firming up for a couple of hours in the fridge, you will enjoy

Raw Lemon Bars




My recipes are always inspired by what ever is sitting in my fruit bowl or the fridge.I find it good for the mind to be able to develop a new recipe from what I have available around me.

Last weekend I had bought a bag of organic lemons from the fresh food market,and had not used them all and as it is market day again tomorrow I thought I must use these lemons before market day .  My lemon bars  recipe came from the panic of thinking how will I use up  all of these lemons.
I would usually look at making a raw cheesecake or even a raw cake, but have decided on raw lemon bars.
So happy they turned out great and with the lovely strawberry jam, they are really scrumptious and full of flavor.

I was going to make a raspberry jam to go on the base but only had strawberries in the fridge so made a strawberry jam to add a bit more zing.
The jam is very easy to make just a cup strawberries and another half a cup, 3 tbsp chia seeds and 2 tbsp coconut nectar or use the sweetener of your choice, or you could use raspberries.

I always cut up my bars and then keep them in a freezer proof container and take out as needed.
So if you are looking for a nice simple tasty bar try these they are well worth it and simple to make.....
