"I love stocking the freezer with a little healthy treat for the week. This week, it's this divine Vegan Fruit & Nut Chocolate! It's the perfect wholesome treat. Made of all natural ingredients, dairy free & vegan, and is even low sugar with just a small amount of rice malt syrup. The addition of peanut butter makes it sweet without needing much sweetener!" ~ Elise @balancebyelise
