A healthy twist on the no bake chocolate cookies I used to make the kids years ago. This looks far less guilt inducing!
Thanks, Sue! Yes, it’s very guilt-free. I make a holiday biscotti with similar flavours and tried to morph them into something a little less indulgent!
Hi, I love that these have both coconut and anise. One to save for later to try. Thanks for sharing, Chloe.

Thanks, Chloe- yeah, I love anise and it’s one of those spices that gets way too little play time (coconut is a given)! 🙂
This sounds and looks delicious. It is my favorite kind of dessert….raw and vegan. Yum.
