ThisChocolate Drizzled Trail Mix from Spoonful.com is a quick treat that your little bunny will be happy to snack on.
Another favorite treat of ours are these delicious vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites from Texanerin Baking that are incredibly easy to make and contain no flour, butter, milk, eggs, oil, or white sugar…we couldn’t believe it either till we made it ourselves. An empty platter later, we can definitely vouch that these cookie dough bites will be a crowd pleaser.
