These No-Bake Oatmeal Cashew Coconut Bars come together in a snap, and with no baking required so they couldn't be easier to make.
When you're looking for something sweet, but also for something that doesn't have any added sugar, and something that is relatively good for you, you seriously need to make these bars. I've even made a new video for you so you can see just how easy they are to make. Check it out.
Today I'm going to get right to the recipe without any unnecessary story or recollection. Time is short on my end with family health issues, and also with the health of my beloved little dog Nutmeg. However, this recipe is too good to keep to myself so I wanted to share it with you right away. I do hope you'll enjoy it!
