Three Seed Choc Bars

Did you love chocolate crackles when you were a kid?

Perhaps you still do!

Well I have a much healthier and just as yummy alternative

Donna Hay’s Three Seed Choc Bars – they’re awesome

So incredibly easy to make, no baking required (just need to heat some bits on the stove), one hour in the fridge and wholla….

Perfection 🙂

Easy enough for kids to make too

And they make a great lunchbox addition as there are no nuts in there!

But I also have a super-delicious – as I call it – adult version

Where you toast the seeds, replace some of the seeds with Brazil nuts and replace the dates with figs…OMG pure deliciousness!

there’s nothing nuts about me….

Trust me, you are going to love this slice either way you make it

So make sure to give it a go
