This quick & easy skewer recipe is gluten-free, vegan, allergy-free, and paleo with just 2 ingredients. A perfect kid-friendly way to decorate, serve, and eat!

Have you ever turned down a chocolate-covered strawberry? (I’ll answer for you…) I don’t think so! They’re the easiest “fancy” dessert! At least, I’ve always associated them with a fancy treat. When you cover anything in a thick glossy layer of chocolate, you can turn any mundane ingredient into a devilishly decadent delicacy!

These 3-ingredient no-bake granola bars are so easy to make! This recipe for healthy homemade granola bars is oat-free, gluten-free, vegan, and allergy-free! These chewy bars make a great grab-and-go breakfast or kid-friendly snack! They’re sugar-free and naturally sweet, plus packed with protein and nut-free!

Granola bars are not so allergy-friendly, nor are many of the store-bought versions healthy. But what if we could change that with a healthy, homemade, no-bake recipe?Read More
