It’s another Monday! Filled with coffee, carbs and chocolate! Luckily for me, this recipe has two of the things that I’m craving, and I can serve them with a cup of coffee to help chase away some of those pesky little Monday blues.
Whip these up on a Sunday evening, as they last for 4 days, covered and at room temperature, you can store them in the the fridge, that will give you another 2 days.
It’s an easy, on the run snack, and it’s healthy for the little ones, the chocolate is dark, but because of the honey and molasses in here, it’s not bitter!!
