Sometimes I just HAVE to have something sweet, but I don't want to undo all of my hard work when I've been eating healthy and exercising. So to feel like I'm cheating, when I'm really not - I pop a couple of these lovely little gems and I'm satisfied!

Gluten Free, Dairy Free & Sugar Free (almost - you can leave out the mini chips)

I first saw this recipe on The Betty Rocker website. I adapted it to my tastes, took my own photos and added a few yummies.
