These Maple & Butter Pecan Krispy Treats beat those lame-o storebought treats, by a long shot!

These are flavorful.  These have texture.  These are... healthy?

Oh yes.  Sweet, rich and decadent treats that are also whole grain, refined sugar free, low fat, gluten free and vegan (but you would never know!)

Supremely chewy, ultimately sweet.

These are something you can sink your teeth into.
