I’m Running Away From Home

Only joking!  But if I were, I’d tie some of these Monster Cookies up in a red bandana and throw them in my knapsack.

These cookies could stand in for a meal!  Filling, full of fiber – oatmeal, nuts – macadamias and of course some chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips.  They also include natural peanut butter – with very few grams of sugar, and honey!  All in all they aren’t too unhealthy.

Enjoy!
