This recipe’s a healthy twist on a Celebrations classic. Don’t worry — it's not Bounty.
@healthy_floflo is back to spruce up snack time with a Snickers alternative that requires only four ingredients. It’s super simple, almost as simple as unwrapping a bar and diving straight in. OK, it’s going to require a bit more work than that, but the macros are so worth it, so your effort won’t be in vain.

Outside of work, Emily’s top priority is food. She’s a self-professed star baker and a connoisseur of all things baked. In her spare time, she’s either cooking up a storm, our looking out for the opportunity to try out Manchester’s newest restaurants. But as a huge fan of carbs, if it’s not pasta or pasta-adjacent, she’s not interested.
If she’s not in the kitchen, she’s tucked up with a book for an early night, or you’ll find her in the gym working up a sweat. Afterall, all those carbs require quite the appetite.
