After we made our Chocolate Bark it spurred a very strong desire to see what else we could make with edible flowers specifically what I could make with Violas & Pansies. I came across a recipe by Gather Victoria (if you haven't heard of them go check them out, they create the most beautiful things!!) but changed it slightly to make it vegan and they are absolutely delicious!

Nixie had fun picking the Violas & Pansies from our garden, I did feel a bit sad to have picked all of them but already just a day later we have new blooms coming through which is very exciting because there are loads more things we plan to make with them!

4. Roll them into small balls and make sure you squeeze them super tight so they stay together. Mine were a bit hard to stay together but they did as long as I squeezed them and got all excess liquid out and then put them into the fridge to set overnight.
