Chocolate Carmelita Bars Recipe (Vegan!)
I’m going to share one of my favorite recipes with you today! It’s the recipe my friends request from me most often.
Everyone gets really excited when they hear carmelita bars are being made. We’re all kind of obsessed.
You think I’m kidding? I’ve had friends joke that they want carmelitas to be the dessert at their wedding. (I’m actually pretty sure they weren’t joking.)
I once froze a batch of carmelita bars, packed them next to an ice pack in my luggage, and took them to California with me. They were still cold and amazingly delicious after two plane rides and then getting left in a trunk while I ate dinner at a restaurant before visiting the Hollywood walk of fame. (Yes, I forgot about them in my excitement.) My friends’ faces were priceless when I announced I’d brought dessert.
Carmelitas: don’t leave home without them!

Caramel Sauce Recipe (Vegan!)
I loooove caramel.
I was so sad when I found out I was allergic to dairy in college. Caramel is one of my favorite foods, and it’s usually made with milk. My mom altered this recipe so it is safe for me. And now it’s safe for you! (Thanks Mom!)
We normally use this recipe to make chocolate carmelita bars, which is an all-time favorite around my house.
You can also use this caramel as an ice cream topping or as the filling for German Chocolate Cake (just add chopped pecans and coconut). It also makes a great dip for slices of apple.
I’ll link to the ingredients/brands I use because I know that can be helpful when trying a new recipe. (Note, because of how Amazon sells these products, they may be in packs of 2 or 12, etc.)
