So easy and delicious. I made double the volume, slightly larger and added on an extra 10 mins. I’m not sure they will last the day because they are so good.
Hi Elaine,

They look easy and delicious but….what is drizzled on top???
Hi, Denice
this is just for decoration. It’s made of a little bit of peanut butter, cocoa powder and maple syrup or you could just drizzle some melted dairy-free dark chocolate.
Thanks Venelina! We’ll try them!
