Would you believe these beauties are easy to make AND good for you? This is a win-win if there ever was one.
Full of good-for-you cacao nibs, almonds, and raspberries, as well as coconut oil AND coconut butter, this is practically health food, people!
Okay, I’m kidding. But just a little.
Smack dab between cake and fudge, these bars come together super fast and are perfect for this time of year when the last thing you want to do is turn on the oven.
But I’m guessing that once you try these, you’ll want to make them all year round …
