No Bake Turtles

Hi friends!

Get ready for one of the best desserts of all time! Today, I have for you a No Bake Turtle recipe that taste just like grandma's homemade turtles from Christmas! There's a trick though - NO ADDED SUGAR!

I bet you are wondering how something can be so delicious without any added sugar? Well, instead of cane sugar, I used pitted dates and pure maple syrup.

Dates are a great alternative to use in place of sugar not only because they are all natural, but also because they have loads of nutrients and antioxidants! Insoluble fiber is one of the main benefits this tasty fruit contains - 3 grams for every 2 dates to be exact!

Consuming insoluble fiber aids in digestion because our bodies cannot digest it.

Anyways, keep reading for this awesome recipe provided below, and have a wonderful day!
