    These were super quick to make although my food processor didn’t do a good job of mixing them so I did that by hand. Hubby and I were looking for a simple, yummy snack and these hit the spot. Not too sweet and after a couple we were satisfied. Will definitely make again!

    Made these for my husband. He loved them. I froze them so he can pop in a snack bag and take on the trail or bike for a quick bite.ย

    I made these for my daughter to take in her lunch since her school is nut free. They came together super quickly and were a hit with my 4 and 2 year old. I I thought Iโ€™d need to add chocolate chips to make them more appealing to my kids but they gobbled them right up without them. had to add just a tiny bit more water than what the recipe called for to make blending easier. Great recipe!
