What a good idea! I should try organizing my recipes this way, if only for ease of my own use.
Thanks, Abbie!

Hi
I am sure ages ago you posted a recipe for healthy ball snacks – similar to naughty rum balls but all healthy & allergy free with raisins & seeds.
By any chance can you think of what I mean?
I had planned to make them for Christmas.
thanks
Love Leanne
