This delicious 2‑ingredient coconut bark is one of the most addictive snacks I have ever made! It’s the kind of treat that seems innocent enough at first… until you realise you’ve wandered back to the fridge three times for “just one more piece”.

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...]
