Reviews
By far the best healthy snack I’ve ever made! Even my pickiest eater loved them. The one that would go into convulsions at the thought of eating something fresh or green. I made them exactly according to the directions. They are so good and very filling. I was a bit confused by the addition of white sugar but thought there must be a reason since all the other ingredients are so healthy. I think next time I may try a natural alternative such as xylitol. Any suggestions?
