Eric and I had been lately at a sweet retailer, and though a number of the objects there have been vegan, the one factor that I really needed to purchase was not, a peanut butter and jelly darkish chocolate sweet bar. I’m at all times extra of a chocolate sweet individual than only a sugar candy sweet individual, so that’s the reason it was what I used to be drawn to. I made a decision then and there, what? I could make one thing like this at dwelling. I’ve darkish chocolate available in any case since it’s a vital merchandise! So I made a decision to make my very own sweet bars, and excellent timing since it’s virtually Valentine’s Day! However I made a decision to modify them up barely and make Vegan Almond Butter and Jelly Darkish Chocolate Bars!
I’ve these good chocolate bar molds that I normally simply use to make plain bars, however I believed they might work nicely for one thing with a filling, since they’re deep sufficient. So I melted down my darkish chocolate and went for it! I simply did a skinny layer first, as a result of I needed room for the filling, then I positioned them within the freezer to harden for a bit earlier than I put the filling in. I used my own residence made almond butter for these which is simply almonds and a contact of sea salt which is ideal because the chocolate and jam are already candy. When you’ve got a excessive velocity blender, making your personal almond butter is unquestionably the way in which to go since almond butter is much more spendy if you happen to purchase it.
As soon as the chocolate had hardened sufficiently, I unfold the almond butter over it, then it was time for the jam! I used raspberry jam as a result of it’s my all time favourite! A few of Eric’s Dad’s hand-crafted jam as a result of it’s the good steadiness of tart and candy and he makes it together with his dwelling grown raspberries! He taught us find out how to make some once we visited some time again (he lives in Michigan and we reside in Minnesota), and it was fairly the method however now I perceive why it’s so good! I dotted the almond butter with this jam, and it was the right quantity for the bars to get a style however not have it ooze out all over the place after I was pouring on the chocolate. I topped them with extra chocolate and waited for them to set.
These bars turned out so scrumptious! They had been actually fairly simple to make, and never time consuming in any respect. I used to be so blissful I made them as a result of they had been undoubtedly higher than these bars that I might have purchased on the retailer and rather more balanced to my tastes. The wealthy darkish chocolate was the right pairing with the graceful gooey almond butter and candy tart raspberry jam! In case you are a PB and J or AB and J (on this case) fan, undoubtedly give these Vegan Almond Butter and Jelly Darkish Chocolate Bars a strive! You’ll be able to be happy to modify up the nut butter, or jam along with your favourite! Why not make your self a Valentine’s deal with? As a result of, not going to lie, I didn’t share these haha. Or you possibly can be good and make them for somebody.
