Every time I’m pregnant I crave CAKE in a bad way! It is beyond ridiculous actually, I never give in for the real deal because I know it really isn’t worth the calories, sugar and fat that comes with it. So instead I made something so good, I can’t even tell that this in not the real deal! OH MY GOODNESS, I’m doubling up this recipe for the next week since I ate these 9 bars in 3 days. Enjoy this one, I did!

1/8 cup stevia
