  1. Highly addictive for a healthy treat. Used only 1 tablespoon of honey as the dates and raisins already make this very sweet.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a new mother on the eve of returning to Uni part time. I love the sense of victory I get after creating something in the kitchen that is delicious, low in fat, sugar, salt and possible to make again! Generally considered an added bonus if it's quick, no fuss and easy to clean up afterwards!
