It’s a wonderful thing that these cute little bars are so full of energy–because you may just need some…to make more. They fit perfectly into snack-sized ziploc bags to tuck nicely into your purse or pocket. Oh, and one more thing—they taste fabulous.
The honest to goodness, gospel truth is that it was all I could do to get a photo of the last couple of bars before they got snatched up too.
Forgive the blurry shots–I was in a hurry.
