Ok, I am going to be honest here. First bite..BLEH!
But to be fair, I am a sugar addict.
Second bite, tolerable but probably not going to eat any more.....once again, because
of my sugar addiction. Solution to MY problem:
drizzle some melted white chocolate
on top! That is all I needed. They are now cut up
and stored in the freezer
for those moments when I NEED something,
but shouldn't! This is a nice
low sugar replacement! Next time I would add
more dried fruit and maybe slivered
almonds for crunch.
