the day i wandered into the desserts case in whole foods and saw the Hail Merry Tarts, i melted a little. raw dessert that’s so thick and gooey and cold and all deep, dark, rich, deliciousness – all clean ingredients and made just for me to indulge, maybe one. bite. at. a. time. over a couple days? and, yes.
BUT. it’s a little pricey. (with good reason – it’s full of real food, as so little is these days. did i mention that?) still, i of course thought, what if i could create this myself and share with my family? one bite at a time, of course. because, yum. did i mention the deep, dark, rich part?
so i set out to create my own version – copycat hail merry tarts. and voila – a ridiculous raw dark chocolate peppermint tart. oh, my.
indulge. in a good way. make these, ok? come back and say thanks, if you like. give me a little digital hug. because, well, yum.

July 18, 2014 at 7:53 pm*Digital Hug* these look AMAZING. When I was in a costco in Capitola I saw a raw key lime tarte that I’ve been wanted to recreate but haven’t had the time. These seem even more amazing! I absolutely love dark chocolate and mint and cannot wait to try these out!
