    Laura Roberts

    Is that 483 calories and 44.5 grams of fat for 1 cup?

      Neli | Delicious Meets Healthy

      Thanks for pointing this out, Laura! It looks like the nutrition info was off. I just updated it. Hope you enjoy them if you give them a try!

    I’m completely addicted to these! I make my own cashew butter and use that in place of the peanut butter. Either way it’s FANTASTIC!!! It also has ways less sugar (honey), so when I eat other things made with chocolate I find them too sweet.

    Can you substitute coco powder?

      Delicious Meets Healthy

      Yes, i think you can!
