Brigadeiros Chocolate Truffles

This trending four-ingredient dessert is taking over kitchens everywhere, and it couldn't be easier.

Meet Brigadeiros, Brazil's favourite bite-sized treat made with just condensed milk, butter, Food Thoughts Cocoa Powder, and sprinkles. Soft, fudgy, and perfectly chocolatey, they're easy to make and even easier to love.

Traditionally, they're rolled in chocolate sprinkles, but we love the colourful twist with rainbow ones.

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp Food Thoughts Organic Cacao Powder
  • Sprinkles of your choice

Skewers of brownie squares, marshmallows and chocolate-dipped strawberries.

Brownie & Chocolate Strawberry Skewers

If you're heading out for a picnic this week, skip the supermarket dessert aisle and make these instead. If you're in charge of bringing something sweet, these brownie, marshmallow and chocolate strawberry skewers are guaranteed to disappear quickly. Made with fudgy homemade brownies, marshmallows, and strawberries dipped in our 70% Dark Chocolate Chips, they're easy to make, easy to share, and a lot more fun than your average picnic dessert.

No-Bake Date Granola Bars

If you love dates, you need to try these no-bake date granola bars. Chewy, chocolatey, and the kind of snack that mysteriously disappears. A drizzle of melted 70% dark chocolate chips is the perfect finishing touch — and it's worth using the good stuff! Choosing good dark chocolate is basically a label-reading game. Aim for 70% or above, and if the ingredients list reads like an essay, put it back. Bonus points if it's made from single-origin Fino de Aroma beans, which are carefully selected from the world's top 8% quality cocoa, and that is exactly what we use in our Dark Chocolate Chips. Deep, rich flavour without any unnecessary add-ons.

Healthier Chickpea Brownies

These healthier cacao chickpea brownies are rich, fudgy and satisfying, thanks to a blend of protein-packed chickpeas and Food Thoughts Organic Cacao Powder.  Chickpeas add natural fibre and texture, while cacao brings that deep chocolate flavour we all want and a little extra goodness along for the ride. Cacao is naturally rich in antioxidants and minerals like magnesium and iron, which is why it's often called a superfood. It's an easy way to add more depth (and benefits) to everyday bakes, without changing how you bake or sacrificing flavour.
