The best recipe for Chocolate Dipped Apple Slices
Simple chocolate dipped apple slices with graham cracker crumbles, sunflower seeds or shredded coconut!
The end of school brings class parties! Instead of letting your kids get tanked up on super sugary snacks, try incorporating fruit into sweet treats. Fruit contains fiber, which help stabilize glucose preventing a sugar rush of epic proportions!
These got the thumbs up from my nephews! They were happy to have dessert, I was happy they were eating apples! They even asked if I would make them again…no problem, done in under 20 minutes!
