I may be biased and really craving chocolate but this is the BEST sweet treat I’ve eaten in a long time. Seriously. Think of a peanut butter cup made into a creamy ganache or pudding texture. Seriously, vegan – carnivore —— everyone will love this. Get those cashews soaking now… really. Honestly. Go!
