When I had my Baby Shower,
I naturally couldn't help but
want to serve a HEALTHIER
variety of treats to my guests.
This wholefoods Peppermint Slice
was a real hit!
*Please note that this recipe makes
far more slice than the photo shows..
It was so tasty that I didn't manage to snap a photo
before most of it was devoured!
