coconut haystacks!

These are the best treat, I think, right now as summer has wound down but fall isn't quite here yet in the south mid-atlantic. Cool, but not too cold. Of course, they are mighty hard to photograph in an exciting, eye pleasing way...
But I find that is normal when I'm rushed, trying to keep tiny hands from grabbing them away before I can take a picture.

These are coconut haystacks, a raw vegan treat brought to my attention by a couple of awesome blogs such as this. The basic recipe is very good on its own, but I also threw in some hemp seeds, flax meal and chia seeds to boost nutrition and get some good EFA's into my kidlet. And boy, do these ever get into the kidlet (and myself!). So yummy, and a great afternoon treat on a warmish September day.
