I made these early in the day and put them in the freezer. I wanted to have them with our afternoon coffee.
So good! Such a great treat to have at the ready, for little pick me up. And the flavours pair perfectly with coffee!

As soon as I saw the Instagram post for these I knew I had to try them! I did that today, and in addition to being incredibly easy to make they are delicious! I went with 3 tsps chia seeds, ~1/2 cup mini-chips, and followed the recipe as written. Wow! I know i will be making them frequently. Thanks for another great recipe!
