Hazelnut Bites

We just love these Hazelnut bites from Lorna Garden.  How could something so delicious be so healthy?  With a penchant for style, quality and health, Lorna's recipes and lifestyle boutique Shack Palace is such an inspiration.  We had to share this one, and you can see more at https://shackpalacerituals.com/blogs/recipes
