Too much of a good thing is not a good…
No-Bake Fruit Cake Bites (AIP, Paleo, SCD)
Happy Holidays, Dear Readers!
The weather outside is frightening. These Canadian prairie provinces really know how to do it up Siberian style. Sheesh. It’s cold enough to freeze the gonads off a brass monkey, as my pops always says.
But the thought of cozying up inside with your near and dear over something mulled or nog-ish along with a plate full of seasonal treats? Well, that warms the cockles of your heart, doesn’t it?
These No-Bake Fruit Cake Bites are perfectly festive; they taste so much like that traditional boozy Christmas Cake that makes the rounds this time of year, except, of course, without the booze and grains and dairy. Plus no-bake is a defo YES in my books!
Make these for your next happy gathering with family and friends. Everyone will enjoy the festive-flavoured noms.
