From mint chocolate chip ice cream and dark chocolate caramels to sour patch kids, Swedish Fish and just about every fruit snack flavor, I’ve always had a bit of a sweet tooth.
One of my favorite things to do in the kitchen is experiment with recipes for upraded sweet treats made from whole food ingredients and enjoyed every now and then as a treat. Food is meant to be savored and enjoyed, and when we slow down to savor high quality food, we find that we are satisifed with less than we might be if we had rushed through the experience.
Many of these treats are pretty rich, so a little goes a long way! Take time to slow down and savor them 🙂
Check out the recipes below for healthier alternatives to some of your favorite sweet foods. Common sweeteners used in the recipes include Medjool dates, bananas, raw honey, 100% pure maple syrup, coconut sugar and raisins.
You may find you like the “upgrades” better than the originals! 🙂
