As I’ve been testing out some new gluten free options, I’m definitely on board with this buckwheat sourdough made with just four simple ingredients: sprouted buckwheat, flax, apple cider vinegar and Himalayan pink salt from PACHA. It’s best toasted! I added some vanilla yogurt, fresh strawberries and mint and a drizzle of honey. 😋

I don’t know what brings me more joy, the process of creating or eating the end result. Which is it for you?

💔🤍Don’t go breakin’ my bark! My achy-breaky (PEPPERMINT) BARK! 🤣

I honestly was having a hard time cutting this the way that I wanted it so I just decided to smash it to pieces! The result turned out just right and was very therapeutic 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️ Who else has been there with something they’ve baked?

Here’s the recipe:
(Feel free to smash yours to bits too!)

12 oz bag semi sweet chocolate
12 oz bag white chocolate
1 tsp peppermint oil
A box of candy canes

-Melt your bag of semisweet chocolate in a bowl in a water bath over medium heat. (A water bath is basically simmering water in a pot and adding a heatproof bowl on top (that doesn’t touch the water)so that the chocolate melts by the steam. Make sure no water gets in your chocolate bowl though or it will seize!)
-Add half teaspoon of peppermint oil once the chocolate has melted.
-Pour the chocolate onto a parchment lined baking sheet and spread evenly.
-Set aside and allow to cool before adding the white chocolate on top, repeating the same process to melt.
-Put your candy canes in a sealed plastic bag and crush them. Sprinkle over the white chocolate until satisfied with the outcome.
