Best Banting Millionaire Squares
These Banting friendly millionaire squares provide you with arguably the best alternative to the unhealthy version of these treats.
It’s difficult to imagine anything beating the original millionaire shortbread when it comes to experiencing that sweet pleasure, but these healthy “millionaire squares” will take you to heaven & back for more.
Whilst they look a lot like millionaire shortbread squares, and taste similar (but better) them, they should be more accurately called almond & chocolate treats which don’t require any baking at all.
Anyhow, whatever you would like to call them they really do come up with the perfect “no-guilt solution” for those times when you crave something really decadent.
