1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt
½ cup crushed almonds, coconut and/or raisins
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a blender.
Remove liquid from blender and stir in nuts or coconut or raisins
Spread in the bottom of a small baking pan or cookie sheet.
Freeze for 10 – 15 minutes

Sounds delectable! I'll have to figure out a sub for the agave- the stuff is even more processed than sugar, and I don't care forthe taste. Maybe maple syrup? -
Yeah I hear that agave is total junk so I would have to use something else for that. Do you know the nutritional info for these? They look delicious.

Once I bought some cacao chips to add to a recipe and I was eating them out of the bag. I got so sick (ate too many!) and now I am afraid to taste them again. LOL -
OMGosh... I want some NOW! LOL!

No i don't. You could probably look up each of the ingredients and kinda put together some nutritional info.

aawwww . . . . I could never eat raw cacao chips because they were always too hard, like little rocks.

I entered the recipe in on MFP, and the whole recipe is about 1800 calories (using 1/3 cup maple syrup). I don't know how many servings it is, but I am SO making this tomorrow, so I might know better soon!
