This delicious 2 ingredient coconut bark is one of the most addictive snacks I have ever made! It is so hard not to keep going back for ‘just one more piece’ – it doesn’t last long in our house!

I didn’t actually use a recipe! Instead I just checked out energy balls in general on Pinterest and saw the types of ingredients that others were using. I decided to add some walnuts to my energy … [Read more...]
