I’ll be honest – these are one of the best “healthy/clean” treats I’ve ever made! And coming from a chocoholic – I can tell you I’ve tried A LOT of different recipes. Its sweet, but not too sweet. Has a bit of a cake-like consistency and its clean and 21-day fix approved!

Definitely a win in my book!!!
