However, you can use ingredients you have on hands. You can use dark or semi-sweet chocolate. Dark chocolateis loaded with nutrients that can improve your health and lower the risk of heart disease. It’s one of the best sources of antioxidants and can positively affect your health.
Coconut oil compared to many other fats could begoodfor hearthealth, too. But, if you don’t have it on hand, you can substitute it with butter.
Organicbrown rice syrupor honey are the best sweeteners that can replaced high fructose corn syrup. You can use your favorite sticky sweetener in this recipe.
And the last, but not the least ingredient are cereals. I used Cheerios made from whole grain oats, and without artificial flavors or colors. Cheerios adds perfect crunch without getting soggy. If you have another cereal that can do that, go ahead and use it for this recipe.
