it’s official: YOU ROCK! 😀

You are FAMOUS 🙂 I just clicked through most of these, and I found you Triple-Layer Chocolate Mousse Fudge Cake on Vegan.com looks AMAZING! Did you ever post it on the blog? Surely that deserves best dessert PERIOD!

This is AWESOME Katie!!! Congratulations on such a successful blog! 🙂

yay for you! well done. I had a little look through…. it just goes to show how much hard work (if you can call something you enjoy so much work!) you put in behind the scenes. It can’t be easy maintaining such a successful blog, thought i bet it all makes it even more rewarding in the end!

thanks for creating this page together. You have a lot of great recipes and I’m glad that they have been featured everywhere. I saw that award on Vegan.Com and glad that it was to a blogger that I know…well, that I follow.

It will take me awhile to go thru all of these yummy recipes

When will you be on the news? I live in the area and want to watch!!

Congratulations, Katie!! That is so cool and amazing! You totally deserve it and will be AWESOME!! See, that cookbook is going to be coming around — a best seller for sure! Have fun, and enjoy what is sure to be your first of many interviews, TV appearances! This just makes me smile :):) You are such an inspiration!! Thank you again for all that you do!! With love, Colleen 🙂

Katie, you will be great. I think a dress, blue would be great! you will see tv is so fun, you will be singing “snap, the jobs a game”!

SUCH a star, Katie!

How wonderful!! I love your recipes and I share them all the time with friends. Congratulations!

I just discovered you on Pinterest not too long ago and have talked about nothing else since! I love these recipes. Just made the banana bread this weekend and it is amazing! I love that you have Gluten Free recipes as well! Keep up the awesome work! I don’t know how I have gone this long without you in my life!!!!

My mom gave me this website, amazing! I can’t wait to try some of your recipes. My 4 year old daughter just recently got diagnosed with Celiac so I have been on a mission to find GOOD gluten free recipes and I am so happy that you actually have some GOOD gluten free recipes! Yay!! 🙂

I adore your blog! I just found it a few weeks ago, and literally try a recipe almost everyday! Im obsesssssed! Although I was wondering about your choice for coconut oil, VS canola. The coconut I purchased at Whole Foods contains 63% of your daily sat. fat in one teaspoon. While canola only contains 5 %. I am not looking to loose weight, simply maintain. But I was just curious on your view point, and thoughts on the oil. Thanks!

Katie,

Your recipes look delicious, but I am diabetic. A big misconception about diabetics is that it is the amount of CARBS that we count, not so much the sugar. Yes we also use sugar sub. But most of us are only allowed 30 g of carbs per meal and 15g of carbs. Per snack. If I play around with your recipes and come up with how to modify any of them, I will let you know….or ask your audience if they can help. Great concept, though. I love anything in the world that is pumpkin and gingerbread, so I may try to modify the pumpkin bread in a bowl first. Also, we need to team all of our carbs. With protein. String cheese sticks and peanut butter are my best friends when it comes to that. Keep up the good work, your recipes look fantasti. Ps, if you use this as a FAQ, please keep my email anonymous. Thanks, cbl

When are you coming out with a book…full of all these awesome recipes! I’d buy it and a few for friends!

Just wondering with all your features in magazines – if this something you generally approach them about, or do they come to you?
Just from a buisness perspective wondering how it all works 🙂

Katie–We had a family dinner and I got to make dessert… Due to food allergies it had to be Egg, Dairy, Soy and Gluten Free. I am so glad that I stumbled across your page on Pinterest! Needless to say we had Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Mint Brownie Balls and then I experimented a little. That didn’t work out exactly as planned, but… Raspberry Chocolate dip (that was way to stickey) that ended up as the filling for a baked pear! A huge hit and everyone was impressed with non-fruit options for dessert! Thanks for your inspiration!!!!

Hey, Katie!

I love your blog! So fun, so well done, and, of course, what a GREAT topic!! I saw this the other day and thought you might find it interesting! Keep up the fantastic work!

~ Kim A.

I’ve just printed out like 40 of your recipes! I’m in love!

Hi! I can’t seem to pull up the Cake Batter Energy Bars recipe… is anyone else able to open it? Or can it be re-posted? thank you! Awesome recipes, as always!

Thank you for these awesome recipes!

Katie,

I just wanted to say thank you for all of your wonderful posts and recipes! Thank you for making things that really and truly are healthy for you AND taste AMAZING at the same time…putting to rest that healthy food doesn’t have to taste bad. I LOVE seeing a persons face of amazement when I tell them what is in something of yours I’ve made (after they’ve eaten it of course!) One request, would you try to come up with the Pecan Pie flavored Lara bar? It is my favorite and I’d love to be able to make them myself, I’m just not that daring the try it. Thanks again!!

I tell all my friends to try your desserts. They are amazing. I serve your chocolate cauliflower cake at get togethers and no one can tell the secret ingredient. The last time I made it I used coconut oil and it was even more moist! I really appreciate that you have gluten free and list different types of sweetners. Your receipes are truly amazing!

You are doing so great!!! Keep it up 🙂

Wonderful Katie. I love your recipes and tell everyone about your web site. Thanks

This page is fabulous! It’s so great to see that such a grear chef – and lovely person – is being recognised and appreciated! So so happy for you! Well done! ♥

HI Katie,
I wanted to contact you regarding your recipes for a wellness magazine I am starting in NJ.. I am set to launch my maiden issue in Jan/Feb 2013. I would like to talk with you about a column/contribution in my magazine. I am loving your recipes and think your a great fit for the mission of the magazine. I am leaving Oct 3rd for training and will have more details after that. Its a little early to talk shop just yet but I wanted to at least reach out. Please contact me by email and I will give you a contact number should you want tot discuss prior to that
Debra

Hey Katie,
Just wanted to say I can not wait for your cookbook to be out! I wanted to contact you regarding whether or not you would be interested in having any illustrations or a cartoon mascot of some sort (maybe something along the lines of Lisa Lillian/”Hungry Girl” who has her own little personal mascot) to be included within you book. I am a huge fan of your recipes (vegan, healthy and delicious!!), and would love to help out if such a thing struck your fancy. If so, please do not hesitate to contact me via email.
I can’t wait to get a copy either way, it’s going to rock!

Cheers!

Just wanted to thank you for your single serving recipes. My son recently went gluten free at 4 yrs old, not to mention dairy, soy, yeast, tomato, etc etc free… Making lunches for him to bring to school has been a research project in itself. I had a 1 minute “bread” recipe from another site that used almond flour and worked well, but now that we’re not allowed to bring nuts to school…

In steps a recipe for a single serve muffin! I’ve been using it (GF version) for school “bake days” where the kids bake and eat something together (like muffins, and obviously he can’t share 🙁 ), and out of desperation one night I used applesauce instead of pumpkin, omitted the sweetener and vanilla and… surprise! After a toasting, passable bread! Single serving size! Star-shaped thanks to my awesome silicon star mold! I was on the verge of tears of relief.

Anyways, the point is, thank you. Every discovery like this puts us several steps ahead in making faster, healthier, more versatile and variable lunches for a kid that just wants to fit in.

Thank you.

Hi, I just ate my first Better-finger Bar. It cured my sugar craving immediately! Even though I don’t feel it tastes anything like a Butterfinger, I do feel it stands on its own as a really yummy treat. I’ll be serving it to friends this week and I know it’ll be a hit.

Hi Katie – I just had to tell you how much I LOVE your website. I started my weight loss journey Oct 31st of last year. Down 80lbs so far (yay!), and your recipes have helped make that possible. It has been great to try out so many great recipes…and NOT feel guilty! I always have to make extras and bring them to work because everyone loves them so much. And they all ask “When are you bringing in more Chocolate Covered Katie stuff?!”.

Thank you so much for giving us dessert lovers a healthy (and DELICIOUS) alternative. 🙂

Hi Katie, I was wondering if you could recommend bake ware. I’ve looked on amazon and read reviews of anchor hocking and pyrex that say the newly made glassware of these 2 companies can and do explode at times…i have found one 8×8 stainless steel pan that I will probably get.

Just wondering if you have any suggestions. Love love love your blog and recipes and noticed you use very small pans and small recipes (which I like) but I just don’t have the right size pans 🙁
I looked to see if you had any ads of bake ware but didn’t see any.

Thanks for any help 🙂 Have a great day 🙂

Katie,

One of my favorite holiday desserts are cannolis. Do you happen to have a reciepe for them? I don’t know what to do for a healthy alternative to the shell.

Thanks

Katie-

I was talking with one of my roommates tonight about how great it would be if there was a healthy “buckeye” recipe. Do you have a buckeye recipe made with white beans? Maybe it could be your next challenge!

Thanks,

Erin

Can I just say that I love how much recognition you’re getting? You totally deserve this, everything you make is top notch and I love how I can google any food I’m craving plus “chocolate covered Katie” and there is a delicious healthy recipe to save the day. You’re the best, Katie, I hope you’re doing really well!

Hello,

I just wanted to congratulate you on being show on FoodBeast. In case you haven’t seen it here is the link http://foodbeast.com/content/2013/01/18/no-bake-energy-bars-that-actually-taste-like-cake/.

Have you tried making scalloped potatoes yet? I’m taking on the challenge, but not sure which recipe sounds best.

Hello Katie, I’m from Mexico, I am a big fan of your website. I was wondering if you could trye to imitate a “healthier” version of the Nature Valley Sweet n’ Salty peanut butter crunchy bars, I noticed they contain high fructose corn syrup and a high content of sugar. Btw, great website, congratulations!

Hi Katie! Enjoyed your blog. Would you please email me at h brown at eMeals dot com when you can? I’d love to talk with you about ways to work together.

I was wondering if you ever thought about making a vegna tirimasu recipe? I was looking for one that would be a little bit more healthy than the traditional Italian recipe and you were the first person I thought of that I know could do it!

Who do I contact regarding advertising opportunities with social media tie-ins?

Hi Katie,

I’m Taylor Alexander and I handle online marketing at Simply Stevia. I have been checking out your website and I like the following that has been built as well as presentation. It seems your viewers really interact with your postings.

I was interested in sending over some free product in exchange for a recipe posting on your website (if you like our product that is). Simply Stevia is an all natural sweetener. One of the things people love about our product is that it is offered in many different flavors, but most people are only familiar with plain (regular sugar tasting) flavored Stevia. I think your website would be a great place to build more awareness for our product.

Please check out our website http://www.simplystevia.com and let me know what your process is. I look forward to hearing from you.

WOW! Look at all these awesome accomplishments! You deserve every single one- your blog rocks! 🙂
Sunnie

can you do a post on vegan options at chain restaurants?

I’ve recently discovered your blog and I am in love!!!! I was wondering if you could do some posts on healthy school lunches that don’t need to be heated up or anything

It says I am alreay signed up to receive the recipes, however I still don’t get them.

This is literally the best dessert blog I have ever found! I love love love chocolate and I am losing weight, but I still want to eat chocolate. Your recipes are so creative and I can’t wait to try them out 🙂

Hi Katie,

I know you get thousands of emails each week and that mine is just another one of them. But I wanted to tell you thank you. I was just reading your post about giving up running and why you chose to do that. It sounds like we are incredibly similar in how we deal with stress… run too much, eat too little, and stress out even more. I am currently working through that myself and trying to learn a balanced diet and lifestyle, one that will lead to a healthier weight and where I feel less moody and tired. I have been inspired by your story, and thank you for being vulnerable with your entire blog community. That takes courage!

Also, you are beautiful. And you always have been! But you look beautiful and healthy now that you have a couple extra pounds.

Thanks again, Katie.

Hello –
I’m a writer for http://www.upwave.com, a new health and wellness brand from Turner Broadcasting. I’m doing a roundup featuring lighter, healthier versions of classic Valentine’s Day sweets, and would like to use your photo of the Kale Brownies recipe featured here: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2013/08/08/kale-brownies/
Is this something you’re interested in helping me with? I’d just need your permission (via email) to use a photo, as well as a copy of the original horizontal picture. We will also provide a link back to your blog.
Please respond as soon as is convenient for you, as my deadline is coming up.
Thanks!

Hi Katie,
I love your blog. Do you use a blender often to make your recipes?
I see you’re giving away a Vitamix. Have you ever done a Blendtec give away?

Hi katie,

You have a great blog! I am a very much a foodie and I have used many of your recipes and ideas with lots of success. Thanks for all of your hard work!

I thought you might be interested in trying a new ingredient which is great for cooking and baking – Black Gold Cacao. It is sourced mainly from South America, where I was born, and the cacao pods are hand-picked from trees that grow naturally in the rainforest. The cacao comes straight from the farmer to you and it’s one of the most healthy and delicious cacao products in the world.

I would love to send you some Black Gold Cacao to try out in your kitchen. If you would like a sample, please let me know your preferred postal address and you’ll receive it soon.

Happy cooking!

Hey Katie!
I just wanted to say I really appreciate what you do as a blogger! Your blog has not only pushed me to eat healthier, but rekindled my love of baking because I can eat all the desserts I make without regretting it later! Everything on here (especially the avocado smoothie…yum!) tastes so amazing that I forget it is healthy. Keep up the great work!

Hello,

I have a quick question. I am intolerant to tofu believe it or not, strange but true. Are there alternatives that I can use for when the recipe requests tofu. I am just craving most of your desserts but quite a few of them have tofu listed as one of the ingredients. Please let me know.

Congratulations on your new book. I pre-ordered it on Amazon. I am super excited. Thank you for your wonderful blog. I am a complete chocolate lover myself and have to eat it on a daily basis. I am also always looking for ways to make my desserts super healthy if I am going to indulge on a daily basis. Once I take my first bite into whatever recipe that I have used for my dessert, I cannot stop smiling. It is the best thing, the cacao bean that is.

Thanks again.

Sophia

Hi Katie. I work for the magazine Women’s Health in the UK. I’m wondering if you can follow us on twitter as I would love to DM you about something exciting as we would love to work with you. thanks Emily x

Love your cookbook. Quick question. I am trying to make the Carrot Raisin Cookie bites. The ingredient after 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon is missing. My book only says 1/8 teaspoon plus. I have no idea what ingredient this was suppose to be. Help! Love everything so far. Really helping with my chocolate cravings.

I’ll try that recipe. That looks divine!

Seeing your blog makes me wonder if it is possible for us to partner with you and develop recipes for our new website.

If you are interested in the idea, could you tell me how you would like to work with a partner and what is the price you would like to charge for such service?

Thank you very much!

Best,

Super random question but do you go to Texas A&M? You look like someone I met a couple of days ago so I’m just wondering! ?

Flourless banana blender muffin recipe — The picture has garbanzo beans but the recipe calls for white… They look delicious and I can’t wait to try but which bean is it?

Hi Katie
If you include white beans in your recipe, what type of bean do you mean? Garbanzo?

Hello, does your cookbook have a number of dinner recipes as well? Like the broccoli rice casserole type one?

Hi Katie,
I recently purchased your ebook, Hello Breakfast, I would like to receive it in PDF form. Thank you.
Best Regards,
Eva

Well, I tried to find a “Contact Us” on your website but was unsuccessful, so here goes: I love all the KETO RECIPES from the weekly emails I’ve signed up for but they’re getting lost in the other 250+ emails I get each day (yeah, they shared my email, darn them!). But yours I really want! So I have a suggestion for you: in your subject, add [Chocolate Covered Katie] as a prefix to the actual subject, like so: “[Chocolate Covered Katie] Keto Cake – The BEST Chocolate Recipe!” or “[CCK] Keto Cake – The BEST Chocolate Recipe!” or something my email client can pick out and flag for me. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE – I’m sure others are having the same issue. [FYI to any others who use a smart email client: you can search the email header for “Chocolate Covered Katie”, that works too but having [CCK] in the subject line makes searching and alphabetizing much better.]

Curious what happens if you leave out the chocolate chips from the black bean brownies. And can I use Splenda as the sweetener?

Hi Ginny, I wanted to let you know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE your vegan chocolate cookies recipe, so I featured it in my latest post on vegan pantry recipes. I used the image in your post with credit and a direct link to your site below… let me know if its OK or if you’d like me to take down. Its one of my go-to’s!
Thanks, Kelly
