What a great dessert or sweet snack to have stored in your fridge when that sweet tooth starts to bug you. Here is a great recipe, Low Carb Chocolate Almond Clusters from CAREFREE CANDIES COOKBOOK, and created by Kelley Herring. Man, Kelley has a great cookbook with a variety of candies, and chocolate bars, just for us low carbers or if you want to eat healthier.
Her cookbooks are so educational and healthy for you, I think you will really enjoy it. Now I did not use the same products as Kelley did but I am very happy with the brand names I used.
