Description
Vegan Caramel Shortbread Bars With No Refined Sugar
Loco Love Salted Caramel Shortbread is a chewy, crumbly dark chocolate bar that brings together vegan caramel and gluten-free shortbread. It is enrobed in dark Peruvian cacao and finished with fragrant biodynamic Tasmanian salt. If you have been looking for a vegan caramel shortbread bar that skips the dairy and the refined sugar, this is a good one to try.
What Is Inside the Bar
The caramel is made with coconut milk, brown rice syrup and coconut sugar, so there is no dairy in the recipe. The shortbread layer makes up 20% of the bar and is built on rice flour, tapioca flour and chickpea flour, with maple syrup, coconut oil and real vanilla bean. Most of the ingredients are organic.
- Vegan, with a gluten-free shortbread layer
- No refined sugar, sweetened with coconut sugar, brown rice syrup and maple syrup
- Dark chocolate coating made with organic cacao paste and cacao butter
- Finished with Tasmanian sea salt for a salty-sweet bite
Texture and Flavour
Think of a caramel slice in bar form. The shortbread gives a gentle crumble, the caramel is soft and chewy, and the dark chocolate rounds it all out. Each bar is 35g, which makes it a satisfying size for a small treat rather than a full dessert.
How It Fits Into Your Routine
A carton holds ten individually wrapped bars, so they are easy to keep in a desk drawer, handbag or gym bag. Many people enjoy one with a cup of tea or coffee, after dinner, or as a planned sweet treat during the week. A carton also makes a generous gift or hamper addition for anyone who eats vegan or gluten free.
If you like to compare flavours, the Classic Chewy Caramel bar is a smooth caramel with vanilla bean, and you can browse more sweet treats or organic pantry foods from the store.
Who This Bar May Suit
This bar may suit people who avoid dairy, gluten or refined sugar, or anyone who simply prefers a caramel treat made with ingredients they recognise. It is still a sweet treat, so check the nutrition panel in the product images and speak with your healthcare professional if you follow a medical diet.
