I have a serious sweet tooth since having Baby M and no matter what I do I can’t shake it. These little snacks are delicious and sweet so whenever I’m having a craving, I pop one of these bad boys in my mouth. If you’re not a macro counter then you can switch up some of the ingredients for less healthy options. For instance you can use regular peanut butter versus natural peanut butter or milk chocolate chips versus dark chocolate.
