About


I used dried cranberries and almond butter in this recipe, but any dried fruit would work... and cashew butter or peanut butter would be nice too.
You can also use your favorite non-dairy milk, and if you want to lighten it up, use Splenda in place of the brown sugar, and reduced-calorie peanut butter.
