Healthy Chocolate-Peanut Butter-Coconut-Oat Bars~No Bake!

When I get a chocolate craving, I NEED TO FEED IT. I become like a chocolate fiend, searching cupboards, licking wrappers, snorting cocoa powder to get my fix. That may be a bit of hyperbole.

And they’ll be ready before your episode of Breaking Bad is finished. Print Healthy Chocolate-PB-Coconut-Oat Bars~No Bake!

Could a Candy Bar Be the Packaged Food Game Changer We Need?

I knew chocolate would be my savior. Here’s the deal. I don’t take the time to write about companies or products unless they really impress me or really piss me off. I am so pleased with the idea of UNREAL that I wanted to get the information to you as soon as possible. A new candy company, UNREAL, is set to launch their products in stores such as Target, Walgreens, and Kroger in the coming months, right next to the leading candy brands on store shelves. You may have already seen UNREAL in CVS or Michael’s at the time of this posting. Why am I, a person who shuns excessive...

This weekend officially marks the start of summer in my neck of the woods, er, stretch of the beach.
