Maggie's Tips
- Making your own homemade treats ensures that you have complete control of ingredients added.
- Instead of hazelnut spread try peanut butter, cashew butter, almond butter or tahini.
- Instead of Crème fraiche try mascarpone cheese or fresh ricotta.
- For dairy free or vegan friendly version use coconut yoghurt. Also check that the chocolate is dairy and vegan friendly
- Gluten free: Make sure your choice of chocolate is GF
- These are a suitable treat for diabetics or those on a keto or low-carb diet.
- Decorate with edible flowers, chopped nuts, bee pollen, toasted seeds, freeze dried fruits etc.
- The links in the ingredient list are just a guideline to some of my favourite products.
