A friend of mine made these once and when I tried them, I immediately had a new favorite healthy indulgence. I took her base recipe and made a few adjustments to suit my own tastes and now I am going to share with you! You'll thank me.....I think you will anyway...you'll definitely want to.....which, in that case, you should! Leave me a comment and show some love people! ;)

ReplyDeleteSounds pretty tasty! I can't say I'd call anything with that much sugar healthy, but they look like they would be deliciuos! I think I might make some. I have a bag of dark chocolate chips waiting for a good recipe. Thanks Jenny! I hope you are doing well!
ReplyDeleteHow much of the cranberries? Is it just as many as you like kind of thing? Sounds good Jenny! Thanks for sharing. It was so good to see your smiling face yesterday! :O)
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteyou can actually leave out quite a bit of the sugar and either just do without it or add in some coconut instead!
Vicky,
I usually just grab a handful, probably about a 1/2 to a cup worth....whichever you fancy most! ;)
