Chocolate Fruit and Nut Bites

As promised, here are my chocolate fruit and nut nibbles!

These were, yet again, the product of one of my random:

 ‘What would happen if I....’ thoughts...

Basically I went into the cupboard to find something and was faced with about 15 packets of opened dried fruits and nuts so I decided to use them.

So... Ingredients:

5g each of:

-Sesame Seeds

-Pine Nuts

-Goji Berries

-Dried Sour Cherries

-Dried Blueberries

-Shelled Pistachios

10g each of:

-Walnut halves

-Desiccated Coconut

-Hazelnuts

-Flaked Almonds

-Raisins

1 Scoop of Chocolate Whey

1 pot of Dark chocolate Alpro Soya Yogurt

100g Fage 0% Total Yogurt

.............................................................................

Step 1

Chop up all your fruit and nuts

.............................................................................

Step 2

Mix your Whey, Fage and Alpro Soya together

.............................................................................

Step 3

Add the fruit and nut and mix again

.............................................................................

Step 4

Spoon into silicon moulds

 (conveniently I get 10 portions!)

.............................................................................

Step 5

Put into the freezer for 3-4 hours

(I of course, impatiently poked them every 30 minutes to see if they were ready yet, they look exactly the same as when I put them in!!!)

.............................................................................

Step 6

Pop out the moulds when they are hard.

Leave for 5 minutes before eating.

(If you can resist... my first one was a lollypop!)

Keep in the freezer for up to a week

Sweet Potato and Marshmallow Mushrooms

Yes, I went there.

I went all American on you and mixed vegetables and candy.

But it was soooo goooood!!!!

Ingredients:

200g Sweet potato

20g (1tbsp) Mallow Fluff 

(or Manuka if you want to keep it clean)

20g Oat Flour

15g Almond Flour 

10 Mini Marshmallows

.................................................................................

Pretty simple too, grab your sweet potatooo...

 

 And some Fluff 

(or Manuka if you're staying clean)

...................................................................................

Cook and mash the sweet potato and add a tablespoon of Fluff.

 

......................................................................................................

Mix together then add about 20g of oat flour  

.......................................................................................................

Shape into teaspoon sized balls

 (I managed to get 10)

.....................................................................................................

Roll in almond flour to coat ...

and pop on a baking tray

 

....................................................................................................

Put a mini marshmallow in the top

 (or you could roll the potato around it so it's in the centre.. 

but then it wouldn't be a mushroom, more of a doughnut) 

That one on the right was my tester... (ie: the one I get to eat ;) )

.........................................................................................................

Bung them in the oven for 10 minutes @ 180C

 

Haha (oven action shot)

Et Voila!!
