Chef's Notes
Leftovers If you have extra sesame seeds and coconut, they taste wonderful in breakfast cereal!
Water instruction Have a little more water handy in case the mixture is too hard to mix
Carob powder substitution In place of carob powder, you can use 1 Tbsp cocoa powder plus 1 Tbsp maple syrup.
Cranberries as garnish option Have 1/2 cup of dried or fresh cranberries for garnish.
