Heh, folks! The thoughts I’m sharing with you here are inspired by a recent discussion on IG among religious women.

Ingredients: 70 gluten-free pretzels ½ cup vegan chocolate chips ½ cup unsalted, creamy almond butter Directions: Line a large baking sheet with wax paper, parchment paper or greased foil.
