These little bites represent healthy treats in one of it most indulgent and delicious forms. I love carob as a chocolate alternative so these guilt free bites of pure goodness are often spotted disappearing far to quickly with a cup of tea after dinner!

Also work as a wonderful lunch box friendly treat for the kids that they will love!!

The carob and coconut create a caramel, chocolate fudge biscuit resemblance and are a great replacement of chocolates & biscuits.

Gluten, dairy, refined sugar, egg, additive and nut free- working around you and your families health requirements can be super delicious, quick and easy.
