I’m on a journey. A journey to free myself of my processed sugar addiction. Been hearing a lot of great things about nuts and dates, which are the two main ingredients here plus 3 other small things with a total of 5 ingredients in all. While ordering a few things, I found this awesome recipe on the nuts.com website – It inspired me to create my own masterpiece by making a few of modifications; Simultaneously I was just in receipt of an order of fresh raw organic cashews from terrasoul.com. Heaven! Our take on the original recipe is here 🌱 :
