Over the years I have developed a sweet but healthy snacks to satisfy my sweet tooth hungry. I truly believe that deprivation only leads to disaster, but on the other hand, this mantra is taken too literally, and shall also be free, it is also a recipe for failure. These snacks strike a balance between indulgence, portion control and healthy ingredients. Even better, they are quick and easy!
