So with the weather getting a little cooler and leaves starting to change, I thought it might be a good idea to add a little Fall flavor into the mix. No, It's not of the Pumpkin Spice variety. I am a fan, but I thought I would stir it up a bit, try something new. Why not try something sweet and something...carrotity? It's sounds like a weird flavor combo, but I promise it is pretty yum. The peeps over at Health.com are not crazy. They are genuises. The calories are a bit on the higher side, but this is a treat so treat yourself, you've earned it. Just use that self-control you've been working on. Have one and give the rest to those rug rats and their little rug rat friends. Enjoy!!
