So there you go, they really are that simple

They save well in the fridge and freeze too, so you can make plenty for that quick fix

When I originally made the mini ones I thought……never these are too small

How wrong I was, they are the perfect size for little hands and packed with all the good fruits they are getting that little extra

My sweet element is Agave syrup, which may seem a little…controversial but for me with honey being out and wanting a sugar that wouldn’t leave Violet hanging upside down from the ceiling for me on this occasion it is the right choice

The sugars from Agave Syrup are slow release so that fitted the brief, but feel free to use Maple or Golden syrup if you feel fit

So without further ado some more pics and you could have these on the table in 30 minutes ……go on I dare you 😜😜
