Thanks madcap! I plan on trying these today. I don’t like the Health Valley all that much by themselves but I’m sure the other ingredients will help me with that =) I want to make my own graham crackers too!!! Thanks for the recipe! And I kinda figured about the 4oz chocolate thing…scale would be best but god forbid I use more chocolate than necessary…that would be such a very very bad thing…. ;)

VeganVerve – Hi there! If memory serves, the cracker brand is Health Valley. I’d had them for ages in my pantry. Next time, I’m going to make my own graham crackers from scratch – I found this great recipe online, at the VCTOTW blog. It looks super easy and you can find it here:

As for the chocolate – In this case I used semi-sweet chocolate baking squares (they are divided into one-ounce squares that you break off). But I’ve used chips in the past – if you have a kitchen scale, you could definitely weigh chocolate chips to get the exact same amount. I’ve just used cup measurement for chips – so 4oz would be a 1/2 cup. I’m not sure if this is scientifically sound, but that’s what I do :)

Oh my, I need these pronto! I gained a pound looking at them LOL. I like Canada even more now! What kind of graham crackers did you use? It is difficult to find honey-free in the USA and the only brand I know of isn’t all that great (or maybe I’m picky….*referring to kind on veganessentials, Health Valley I think*). Oh and I usually just do my own thing, but when you say 4oz of chocolate, do you physically weigh it out? Any idea how much semi-sweet chocolate chips that would be in terms of cups?

WordPress didn’t link me on your site either! Hmm..what’s going on here?

I will be visiting your blog quite often, as the recipes and photos are simply divine! This is the best part about food blogging and entering SHF, Daring Baker’s etc. You get to meet so many people who share your obsession and love of everything food, and drool over their creations, with the added bonus of getting to try them due to the recipes that come along with each beautiful bunch of photos and great reads. :)

This Lisa from Parsley, Sage, Desserts and Line Drives. I found your blog! :)

OK, first off, I love your vegan take on them. They look so delicious! Secondly, I think they came out lovely, and your photographs are SO amazing. Perfect detail, clear, like I can reach into the photo and grab everything. What kind of camera do you use? I hope I can get photos even HALF as phenomenal as yours, once I get adjusted to my new camera, and learn all the ins and outs of food photography. Then again, my Canon isn’t a dSLR, so I’ll just be happy with anything decent at this juncture,

Having said all that, I can’t wait to try your recipe, as I have many vegan friends who would go ballistic for a plate of those, not to mention myself and all of my non-vegan friends!

There are sooo many dainties in the Canadian repertoire, I definitely need to scrounge around in my 80-something aunt’s recipe box! These are at EVERY family function, no matter what.
