Pecan Fudge Caramel Bites

I've been a big fan of Julia Corbett and her superfood company Diviana Alchemy for the past few years. She has a gift for making raw superfood desserts that are out of this world and her two books, Raw Cookie Book and Sweet & Raw Pie Mandalas are beautiful and inspiring. Both are a must have for any raw superfood kitchen and both are available in the City & Sea Trading shop. Check out her delectable Pecan Fudge Caramel Bites below from Raw Cookie Book. Good luck not eating the whole batch in one day!
