Notes
Chef’s Notes:
- These are not that sweet, which we like and our children did as well. However, you can add a little more sugar to the mixture or the topping if you prefer.
- Peanut powder can be purchased in the regular peanut butter aisle in the grocery store now.
- Hemp hearts are hulled hemp seeds. If you can’t find them, use ground flaxseed or chia seeds instead.
