28 Healthy Vegan “Chocolate Covered Anything” Recipes

It sometimes feels like I only write about two things:

Chocolate and Mexican food.

Is there something wrong with that? HELL NO

🖕*middle fingers raised*🖕

My #1 rule in life?

Never trust anyone who hates chocolate!

All joking aside, it’s no secret how much I love vegan chocolate. When I saw that December 16th was “Chocolate Covered Anything Day”, I knew I needed to celebrate! And I do mean chocolate covered anything.

I recruited my blogger friends to send me their favorite vegan chocolate recipes, and they never disappoint! I’m talkin’ vegan chocolate covered cakes, fruits, cookies, and… jalapenos!? Damn right!

(I told you; Chocolate and Mexican food are my favorites!!)

Let’s get on with the recipes!

1. Chocolate Chip Pancakes from Vegan Huggs

Aside from Chocolate and Mexican food, pancakes are my favorite thing in the world. I’ve even been known to eat them for dinner (don’t judge!). Melissa kicks it up a notch by smothering the golden cakes in chocolate and whipped cream! These chocolate chip pancakes also happen to be gluten-free, yay!

2. Healthy Cake Pops from Emily Kyle Nutrition

The queen of energy bites is back, but this time she brought healthy cake pops! These treats are made with creamy dates and are also gluten-free. Starbucks, who!?

6. Roasted Almonds with Cocoa from Food, Pleasure, & Health

Almonds are my favorite snacking nut (is that a weird thing to say?). They’re packed with protein, vitamins, and heart-healthy flavonoids.. What’s not to love!?

7. Vegan Coconut Bountys Balls Covered in Chocolate from VanillaCrunnch
