Peppermint Patties

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

(to sweetebakes ~ trust me, you can’t taste the coconut over the peppermint in these. Coconut oil is extremely mild. =)

Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, Elana! I really, really like these. I {never} buy candybars, but if I were to buy one, a York would be at the top of the list. I love it that I can make these healthy alternatives. The recipe was so simple and made just enough for a small dinner party…they’re great right out of the freezer! I’m going to have to check out some of your other recipes, too…your cookbook looks very appealing. =)

Oh, and I honestly don’t know much about the ado over Agave, yet…I have a very small bottle of it that’s lasted me the last few months, but it tasted fine in this recipe. I would be willing to try raw honey, too…would you use the same amount of honey, or less?

I was wondering if there would also be something to substitute the coconut oil?? I’m not a huge fan of coconut but these sound so good! I have to admit I love checking out your site because my boyfriend’s dad is gluten-free and I’m always looking for new sweets to make him!
