These Almond Butter Brownie Bars are the perfect mixture of deliciousness. Made with all-natural ingredients, they make an ultimate little healthy treat.

There is really nothing more fun than making a dessert that you can enjoy without feeling extra guilty. This is one of those that fools them all, (just like these Healthy Gluten Free Brownies)

I love the challenge of making desserts “healthier”. Hubby has more of a sweet tooth than I do and he rarely indulges in anything other than really dark chocolate. Needless to say, he is absolutely lovin’ when I make great little treats like this. Now if I can only get him to leave everyone else a little morsel too. 🙂
