Chocolate Protein Unbakes Recipe

Growing up, I can remember my mom and older brothers making unbake cookies. My brothers and my mom loved to make them because they were quick and easy, and full of chocolate. I had only made them once since becoming a mom, but when I did, my boys loved them.

My New Year’s Resolution was to eat healthier and so far, I’ve managed to be successful. Granted I don’t eat healthy every meal, every day, but I do try to do so as much as possible. That being said, I was very excited to find this a little bit healtheir version of my mother’s chocolate unbake cookie recipe.

This recipe is a triple threat. It is good for you, delicious and easy. It is so easy, that I’m going to have my kids make it for me, instead of me making it for them.
