justins nutty dirt n worms

It’s my favorite childhood classic with a better-for-you twist! This recipe combines with most delicious Chocolate Hazelnut Avocado Pudding with organic gummy worms, crushed cookies, and, of course, a Nut Butter Cup. Time to treat your inner child, my friend.

Hotteok is a sweet, yeasty Korean pancake typically filled with cinnamon sugar and serves as a popular street snack. I took this as inspiration to stuff a yeasted dough with, you guessed it, Maple Almond Butter.

Vegan Banoffee Pie

banoffee = bananas + toffee.

It’s everything you want from the classic English dessert, without the dairy. Between the creamy whipped topping, silky dulce de leche filling with just the right amount of nuttiness, and the crunch of the sweet and salty crust, this pie is a textural masterpiece in your mouth.
