Paleo CSB, Week 1

I really enjoy the opportunity to experiment with alternative, healthier ingredients, and the Paleo CSB gives me the chance to do just that!  Thank you for participating in this Fall 2015 session!

Today each member will receive some delicious Paleo-inspired Fudge Truffle Brownies.  I say "inspired" because they are not 100% cane sugar free; the vegan, organic, local chocolate that I get from Lillie Belle Farms does have some sugar in it.  But compared to MOST desserts, these are much, much cleaner, and many paleo recipes on the internet and in books use chocolate that has sugar in it.  Moderation, right?!

As a bonus for CSB members, I also whipped up some Paleo Pumpkin Bars.  These taste very similar to pumpkin pie, just without the crust, and much healthier!

Ingredients:
Classic Paleo Fudge Truffle Brownies:  organic dark chocolate, organic expeller pressed raw extra virgin coconut oil, organic coconut cream, pasture raised organic eggs, organic coconut sugar, raw fair trade cacao, espresso powder, pure locally brewed vanilla, sea salt.

Paleo Fudge Truffle Brownies with "Frosting":  organic dark chocolate, organic expeller pressed raw extra virgin coconut oil, pasture raised organic eggs, organic coconut sugar, almonds, raw fair trade cacao, medjool dates, organic maple syrup, organic coconut cream, espresso powder, pure locally brewed vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt.

Paleo Pumpkin Pie Bars:  locally grown sugar pie pumpkin, organic coconut flour, organic maple syrup, pasture raised organic eggs, spices, baking soda, sea salt.

Store brownies and bars refrigerated.  They may be frozen, individually wrapped in plastic, or sealed tightly in a Pyrex container, to enjoy later (try cutting each in half to make them go further).
