These sound wonderfully yummy & easy to boot. I'll have to try them out soon. I also like the snow out the window in the pick. Goes great with their name.

I made something very similar to this the other night without the chia or coconut, and with 3 T. raw cocoa powder added. It was so darned good! Can't wait to try this version.

Forgot to add, in my version I used pecans, not almonds.

Douglas: It doesn't matter, use it either way.
