Calories: 150 calories (estimate)
Cost: $8.95 for 1 package
Purchased from: SweetE Organic, Mill Valley, CAThe label said "4 honkin' oz." Believe it. This was one "Big Ass Burtle," from Obsessive Confection Disorder (Pinole, CA).
The company specializes in vegan caramel creations; and the Big Ass Burtle was a giant deluxe vegan caramel, lightly flavored with coconut and seasoned with sea salt, a generous helping of toasted pecan pieces, and bittersweet chocolate. Coconut milk replaced the typical dairy milk/cream, and coconut butter the usual, well, (dairy) butter.Creative head confectioner, Melodi Brooke Donahue, expresses her philosophy this way: We are "Vegan Caramel Whisperers"...who make sure that the (100% Cootie Free) ingredients are pure, vegan and cruelty free...We obsess so you don't have to. The company also uses local ingredients for flavor additions and recycled materials.
This hearty, hand-wrapped offering would be a fun dessert to bring to a lunch or dinner gathering, with a knife to cut into squares or slices. The Big Ass Burtle could serve 4-8 individuals (or more if cut into square pieces).
Today was Day #9 of Chocolate and Coconut Theme Weeks.
