I recentley purchased a bag of Sjaak’s Vegan Peanut Butter Bites from VegNews. These little cups are delightful! I’ve really been missing peanut butter cups so I finally bit the bullet and spent the money to buy these. The ones at the drugstore are definitely cheaper but they’re “not cups friendly” as Eric would say. This bag of 25 was $18. Yeah, a little pricey but well worth it. I’m not a big candy person anyway so it’s not like I’ve every eaten more than 3 a day – normally just one every couple of days. They’re a great treat to have around. I did a little research and found they actually come from Sjaak’s Organic Chocolates. I had heard of them before but hadn’t ordered from them. I guess that was in my early days of being vegan when I was used to getting an entire bag of chocolates at the drugstore for $3 so I was having trouble spending so much more – funny though, considering I used to go to Godiva and $1.50 for a piece of chocolate! Anyway, I don’t even know where to begin. I certainly don’t remember their vegan section being so vast last time! I mean, when we’re talking candy, next to peanut butter cups, there isn’t anything better in my mind than English toffee. I seriously considered cheating when my cousin was here for my wedding – she was supposed to bring me a bag and forgot – thank goodness, I probably would have felt badly. Anyway, the point is, Sjaak’s VEGAN English toffee! Absolutely amazing! So, here’s just a sampling of the yummy things I have on my wish list…
I also read on their site that Sjaaks’s is a family owned business – and even better, they’re vegetarians! Which of course explains why they are so good about understanding a vegan’s need for chocolate!
