This was my first time trying a raw dessert and it was way easier than I thought. The mint flavor wasn’t too strong and the texture was spot on. Will definitely try this one again.
These bars look amazing! Love all things mint chocolate!!!
Thanks so much! They are such a yummy little treat!
Could I use something else besides brown rice syrup?
you could use maple syrup instead, or honey if you eat honey!
