No-Cook Treats (assuming melting isn’t cooking)

These treats are full of bran, which I think officially cancels out all the fat and sugar that must be in the other ingredients. It’s yummy; a bit of a bugger to make and you might lose a tooth while eating it, but I think it’s worth it. 225g cereal bran 60g chopped peanuts 285g [...]
