When I made these I had no idea what I was in for. I had never baked anything that didn't actualy needed to be baked and still considered it a "cake". These are the exception that I will allow into my kitchen any day of the week! These are absolutely faboulous and healthy! Prefect for any no bake diet, which if I had the will power I may consider... or not.
Simple and easy, what's not to like?
