During the holidays, I absolutely love making treats for my family and friends.ย When going vegan, my treat ideas transformed! At first I was convinced that I had to stop this small tradition all together since I assumed that vegan sweets were, well, wack, but once I lived the lifestyle a bit longer and was exposed to the endless possibilities of both delicious AND healthy treats,ย a new vegan holiday tradition emerged.
This is a simple and easy treat for those of you that may not find time in the midst of the busy holiday season to bake cookies and more complicated treats. With thisย Easy Vegan Holiday Chocolate Bark, feel free to customize the ingredients to your liking or that of the person you are gifting it to, and have fun!
