DAMY Members – 2 Squares is a treat.
These were absolutely delicious! Apparently I completely missed
the section on cutting them into 12 squares because I cut mine into 24. They are
mini squares, which works okay because now they will just last me longer. Just as a short cut, I lined my dish with foil so when it was time to take them out of the freezer I just lifted the foil and cut. Thank you for a wonderful treat!
That is so great to hear!!! You are so welcome 🙂 I love these too!!! I hope you have a great weekend!!
Wow, these are delicious! Another superb recipe 🙂 Why didn’t I discover the coconut oil/cocoa powder combination before to make chocolate? May have saved me a few lbs 😉
So happy you love the recipe!
These are one of my all-time favorite recipes. Do you make these in your Vitamix? Do you have a recommended speed setting, if so? Thanks!
recommend to grind the nuts first before mixing together.
i also added lein seed powdered
Hi! This recipe sounds great! My son is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. Do you think I could substitute the peanuts and cashews for pumpkin and sunflower seeds?
Yes seeds would work great. Just confirm and make sure your son is not also allergic to the coconut oil.
I don’t have any choice chips….any chance they will be nice without them lol
The penuts and cashews need to be soaked in water?
Do you have any nutritional information for these recipes?
