I posted this back in 2012 and there really wasn’t much to the post except the recipe. I thought I would update it a little and add some wording. Not to mention make the recipe look better. This is a favorite recipe that I make when I want something a little healthier but that tastes good. I don’t make them very often anymore but some days I need something that reminds me I am still me.
Changing everything about the way I eat has not been an easy task and occasionally I need a little treat. I am doing better. I have not have a piece of cake or pie in months. Candy is something I only ever ask occasionally and I have found that some no sugar added candy is not bad. Anyway, this is my treat now.
