I must admit, this recipe isn't for everyone. For me it really tastes like candy and gives me a good, steady energy. Others, who are used to very sugary desserts won't be impressed. So...perhaps offer it as a healthy option, along with something more conventional...
It's a great snack for kids...
Thanks to Ginat Rice, my Macrobiotic teacher, for this recipe.
