Vegan 3 Musketeers Bars

I know some vegans are very passionate about making their recipes as healthy as possible. I agree that is an important mission. With my recipes, however, I try to look for a balance between what I consider to be healthy and knock-your-socks-off delicious! I want to prove that you can be vegan and eat some of the yummiest dishes on the planet!

Sometimes I look for both in one recipe – healthy and delicious. Sometimes I have recipes that by their nature are very healthy (like salads). That’s how I can justify some recipes that I know are not really healthy at all but fall into that cholesterol-free category of sock-free yumminess.

That is where this recipe sits. Giving up milk chocolate was one of the more difficult tasks for me in becoming vegan. And I eventually came to peace with it because I switched to dark chocolate and ended up liking that even more. So I said, “Forget you!’ to those little bite-size, milk-chocolate covered 3 Musketeers Bars.

Then 3 Musketeers Bars came out with their dark chocolate covered version. That was just cruel. Because although it was covered in dark chocolate, there was still dairy involved. It’s true that my taste-buds would be quite happy eating this morsel, but the animal-loving side of me would not relent.

But recently discovered the site Let’s Dish where she posted a recipe for home-made 3 Musketeers Bars. I took one look at the recipe and knew it was something I could transform into vegan bliss. And this is what I did.

This recipe has few ingredients, but several steps. You’re going to have to trust me on this, the destination is well worth every step on the path! Go with the flow, Grasshopper, and follow your bliss. Oops, sorry about that last part. I got a little carried away.

We kept ours in the freezer. What a wonderful cool snack on a warm summer/fall day!
