Grain Free - Paleo Chocolate Date Balls

When I figured out that refined sugar bothered me, I took out alot of sweeteners. Maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar and agave syrup were better but I still got a little sick. Dates were the only thing at first that did not make me sick. I made these all the time! They carried me through that time. Now I can handle maple syrup in small amounts and a little honey and coconut sugar.

I still make these often, they are so good! I always have a hard time not eating a bunch at a time.

Grain & Dairy free Peanut Butter Bars

These are dairy, gluten, grain, and refined sugar free! Enjoy! These are the real deal! I love chocolate and peanut butter, so these are a must have for me! They are so similar to peanut butter cups you buy at the store! These are my go-to treats, they are so fast and easy to make. I will just whip a batch up whenever I want a treat! They are a great on the go dessert, just press the layers in a plastic container and stick the lid on, let set in the freezer, and bring where you need to go! I like these best at room temperature, they are creamier and richer.
