Okay, so we are guessing we aren't the only ones who love (or have loved) the beloved Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt Kind Bar. Its salty, sweety, chewy. Divine! The only challenge is that for those of us on restrictive diets, its a far reach from compliance. Between the nuts, the sugars and the caffeine, it can be challenging to enjoy if you have food sensitivities or allergies, or if you are on an elimination diet just for a time!
Enter our "Kind Bar" Re-Creation! It has all the yum, without the yuck. And they are easier than you'd think!
