Toffee Chocolate
Written by Kevin Kapusi Starow
Toffee Chocolate is based upon a classical French recipe better known as Creme Brulee, a light creamy dessert scented with vanilla. This recipe has the addition of cocoa and is finished off with fresh raspberries, which complement the chocolate aspect.
If you are looking to impress a business associate or a romantic interest, Toffee Chocolate is the cap to a wonderful dinner you are looking for. If you don't have a ramekin such as the one pictured here, just use any dish that is oven-proof. Also if you prefer strawberries or blueberries, use them instead of raspberries, make the recipe your own, and have fun with it.

Let’s Make a Difference
Every day we have the opportunity to make hundreds of choices. We are so fortunate to live in a time where information is so easily accessible and we have the opportunity and freedom to make choices that we feel are the best for us and our families.
I encourage you to continue educating yourself and others about the benefits of living a plant-based lifestyle. Cook a plant-based meal, opt-out of products like leather, watch a documentary with a family member or friend. It’s easy to feel like the choices we make are small, but when we make these choices together, we can make a big difference!
