experimenting gone right
Let’s face it, there are times when we want to add a little something extra to our healthy snacks. And by adding something extra, you know we mean a little sweet deliciousness. That’s what happened yesterday!
With a double batch of Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bars in the oven, the mood hit! More was needed than a sprinkle of sea salt. What was needed? YES … icing.
So out came all the usual suspects. Coconut Milk (fortunately already in the fridge overnight), lemon juice, Hershey’s 100% Special Dark Chocolate Cocoa (100% Cacao), Tapioca Flour, and Powdered Sugar. Then, like any good ol’ fashion mad-scientist, little by little more and more was added until a smooth, slightly sweet, dark chocolate drizzle came to be.
It’s ready and it’s delicious! It also happens to be vegan (since we used 100% Cacao) and gluten-free. Yay! Win-Win.
tips for piping
A really fun way to add flair to your desserts is to top them off with swirls and twirls of icing. You don’t need to be an expert to make them pretty as long as you have a small assortment of decorating tips and disposable piping bags.
For the energy bars drizzle using this recipe, a small round tip was selected. If you put a piece of paper towel under the baked sweet, you can then make sweeping passes going off of the edge of the treat. That way you don’t need to worry about how your “turnaround” looks. To see this in action, here’s a quick YouTube video.
Soon you’ll be finding things to pipe and baking up more than your family can possibly eat! That, in fact, is exactly what started this recipe experiment!
