Welcome back to Budget Bites. This recipe is a recreation of a classic Aussie kids snack: chocolate Tiny Teddies. But making them cheaper, healthier, and completely vegan. The store-bought version costs around $2.50 per 100 g, whereas our homemade version comes in at just 95 cents per 100 g. That makes them over 2.5 times cheaper whilst also being made with simple, real ingredients.

There are no seed oils, emulsifiers, refined sugars, colours or added flavours here. Just 7 pantry staples compared to 14 ingredients in the original. These are the kind of snacks you can feel good about serving on repeat, especially for little ones. They are perfectly crunchy, chocolatey, and so fun to make with different shapes.

When you factor in the cost savings, the reduced packaging, and knowing exactly what is going into your food, this is one recipe you will keep coming back to. You can find the recipe, and 300+ more on our app below.
