My Review:

I really enjoyed going through this “Sweetly Raw Desserts” the pictures are really good and makes me want to make each recipe. The book starts with in the pantry. This gives you some basics on what you need to make the recipes and some handy tips. I found I liked all the chapters but one of my favorites was Cookies, Bars, and Balls. I love to make these types of desserts so it was easy for me to find a number of recipes I wanted to try. Our favorite was the Key Lime Pie Bars. Both Rex and I love key lime pie so this was one of the first I tried. It was very good and something I have made a couple times. Turtle cookies were also very good. I am sure you can find a couple things you would like.
