Today is LEAP DAY!
Yup that one day on the calendar that ONLY comes around every 4 years!
So shouldn't you get a "cheat day" from your diet, since the day doesn't exist on 3 out of 4 years?????
If you think that is a lovely idea, I've got a dessert idea that allows you to cheat AND eat healthy! AHA!
These truffles are easy to make with just FOUR simple ingredients, including the healthy Viki's Granola, and are perfect for sweet treat for you, or your loved one. The the hardest part of making them, is trying to limit yourself to only eating one!
ENJOY!!!
