Notes

- Store them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for upto 10 days.
- You can also dip them in melted chocolate if you wish.
- Read the expert tips, ingredients list and substitutions thoroughly.
- I recommend to eat one or two of these in a day. Anything more will add to more calories in your diet than required.
