It seems like we are all looking for the taste but not the bad ingredients these days. This one should hit the spot for this, yet it conjures up memories of a snickers bar (if you've ever gone there). You don't have to go for the commercial sugary treat, you can make delicious snacks at home like this one and feel confident that you know what is in it and that it is good for you. Since you don't have to bake it, the recipe becomes even better for you as it's raw and therefore the beneficial nutrients are intact. this will last in your fridge for 4-5 days. Enjoy!
