Vegan Mocha Butterfingers

Vegan Mocha Butterfingers aka the tastiest Halloween candy in all of the land! it’s scary how much they resemble the original candy, i’m honestly amazed! i grew up eating butterfingers and while they weren’t my favorite candy, Vegan Mocha Butterfingers most certainly are. the key ingredient in Vegan Mocha Butterfingers is Jim’s Organic Coffee. it brings out the chocolate flavor so much! there are tons of reasons i love Jim’s Organic Coffee. from the incredible depth of flavor, to being certified Organic by the USDA and Oregon Tilth and Fairly Traded, Jim’s is an amazing brand to support.

all of Jim’s Organic Coffees are grown without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers – and they’re non-GMO! also, they’re all shade grown!! there are some key benefits to shade grown coffee: this allows for biodiverse shade, ranging from banana, mango & orange to old-growth trees. it limits the sun’s heat and drying effects on the topsoil and coffee cherries.
