Simply one of the best treats ever! They taste like chocolate truffles. These are so healthy, they are even allowed on my cleanses and people always have a hard time believing they’re not cheating! Getting and staying healthy is not about deprivation! These are full of super-foods, including raw cacao, coconut oil and hemp protein! You will LOVE them.
