Firstly must apologize to you all for not posting any recipes for a while now. No excuse really life has just been terribly busy and i simply have not gotten around to it until now. I have quite a few new goodies to post & will hopefully be able to add them all over the next couple days.
So this recipe turned out really nicely!! It contains no dairy, no sugar & no gluten. A really nice healthy snack to nibble on when that sugar craving hits. Enjoy! :)
