Vegan candy: Bubs banana toffee

These are soft, chewy and delicious. Tempting to eat too many. They were in a multi pack at Costco.

Vegan candy: Katjes Tappsy

We bought these at world market a long time ago and I thought they would be really hard but they were soft. They taste a bit like sugary licorice.Not bad.

Bread: Italian herb bread

I thought this would be too seasoned but it was very good. It seemed a little wet in the bread maker but it turned out well.

Bread: Sesame seed white bread

This was delicious. We substituted the butter with sesame oil which meant we needed to add a bit more flour.

Bread: hot cross bun loaf

Boo picked this recipe. We used currants as the dried fruit. It was good toasted but a bit stodgy so we would add a bit more yeast if we make it again

Vegan candy: tierisch beste freunde

Animal shaped gummies. A bit extra chewy but we've had them for a while. Very cute. Not bad flavor.

Vegan candy: Candy Kittens Eton Mess

The bag is adorable and they smell delicious when you open it. They are a bit chewy but keep at it because they are delicious once you get into them. From World Market

Bread: Almond Poppy Seed

I was looking for a quick bread recipe and found this one and thought I'd give it a try. I tried the 1.5 pound loaf because some of the measurements were easier and I'm glad I did since it barely fit in the breadmaker! :)

It was good but I think I really did want a quick bread

Vegan candy: Candy Kittens Loved

These are pretty good. I forgot about them and left the bag open some months ago but they were not brick hard. Good texture and a nice flavor. Would buy again from World Market.
