There’s a lot of Christmas treats being passed around at may tables this year and every year and It’s such a lovely time of year to share food and social times whether they be at your child’s school, at home, at work or just for pressies.

If you’re looking for a healthier treat to pass around then these hit all the boxes, nourishing good fats, natural sugars and low allergen with no nuts, dairy, egg or wheat. My 2 year old Niece through to my 7 year old child loves them as do adults.

Yummy coconut with Christmas flavours, sure to impress from young to old.
