Notes & Tips:
Since Mat and I are going out for Valentine's day this evening, I thought I'd post a snack that I made for Mat this week. He found this recipe in Runner's World and thought it would be fun to try. I think the flavor of these were really good, but I was disappointed that they didn't "gel" completely. I thought they would be a little more like candy treats, but they were pretty gooey even after frozen.
