Vegan Bleeding Hearts aka Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Why Vegan Bleeding Hearts? Well, when you cut a strawberry in half, it kind of looks like a heart.  That’s how we came up with our Halloween themed naming for these chocolate covered strawberries.  The vegan part comes in that the chocolate is a vegan variety.  In the past we’ve made them with those little cocktail swords, to look more like an actual knife was poking through the heart.  As you can see, toothpicks work too, and that gives it more of a stake through the heart feel–more vampire-y 😉

We love Halloween, so be sure to check out our other Halloween themed recipes:

• Brains with Slime Sauce (Spaghetti Squash with Basil Kale Pesto)
• Snackulas (Tomato Basil Crostini)

Plus, on October 4, this recipe will be included in our Spooky Vegan Recipes Episode…we’ll add the link on the 4th.

The recipe is pretty simple, we hope you enjoy the naming flair 😉

Happy Living,
