These aren’t the prettiest bars I’ve ever made, but they might be the tastiest!! I’ve used cocoa butter which I realise is not a pantry staple, you could sub this for normal butter. I’ve also used coconut sugar (from ASDA) which has a superior nutritional profile to refined sugar, however you could sub this for brown sugar. The bars are a bit crumbly, but that’s the price you pay for grain free and gluten free I think 😬 They taste amazing but don’t expect them to look pretty! You can also make these #keto by subbing coconut sugar for sweetener.
