Homemade Cacao Espresso Cashew Spread
In honor of World Nutella Day on February 5, we decided to spin off of the original favorite with our own dairy and refined sugar free chocolate spread. Nutella has long been a cult favorite because of its unique hazelnut and chocolate taste that goes great with bread or waffles for breakfast. Since the 1960s, fans have been recreating their own versions of the chocolate spread.

It’s all inspired by and based off of the Coffee Maple Cacao LivBar! With or without a companion, this maple cacao hot chocolate will hug you into its warm aroma of cacao, maple, and vanilla on National Cuddle Up Day.

These tahini blondies are easy to prepare, quick to bake at 20 mins or less, and special enough to celebrate the sweet day.

Paleo Spritz Cookies with LivBar Crumble
You’re probably familiar with the buttery, beautifully shaped and easily customizable treat, often referred to as a shortbread and sugar cookie hybrid. The soft but crumbly cookies with Scandinvaian ties are usually decorated with icing and sprinkles, but are tasty enough to be enjoyed plain as well. Usually made with almond or maybe vanilla extract, we went ahead with both for double the flavor.
