Paleo-Chocolate-Mini-Tart-TreatEver since my husband and I began the Paleo lifestyle more than 5 months ago, we have searched for ways to keep it fresh. Like I have said in past posts, my husband is finicky when it comes to lifestyle changes that involve food–if it is mundane or bland, he will abandon ship.  I have to offer him a large variety of raw and natural foods while eating Paleo or I will be doing Paleo alone.

Eating foods that don’t taste “healthy” is one way that I have been able to keep him eating Paleo for so long. One product we found that  doesn’t taste “healthy” we discovered at our local health foods store. It is a treat called Hail Merry Miracle Tarts. These vegan and gluten-free tarts are great as they uses all natural and raw ingredients. The chocolate tarts are our favorite. They are made with organic maple syrup, fair trade dark cocoa, almond flour, sea salt, and extra virgin coconut oil (versus cream) to make a heavy ganache. These tarts are literally melt in-your-mouth good. Unfortunately, the price keeps us from being able to enjoy them as much as we would like to.  Selling at nearly $4.00 per 3 ounce tart, the price is not as good as the taste.

So, I decided to experiment with some Paleo ingredients I have at home, attempting to recreate the taste, texture, and awesomeness healthiness of the Hail Merry tarts but for a much cheaper. What I created, is much better. Using natural and raw ingredients, these Paleo chocolate mini tarts are not only cheaper but richer in flavor and texture. If you are following a Paleo, vegan or gluten-free lifestyle you are sure to love these. Enjoy.
