These Pink Bounty Bars are not only a yummy Valentine’s Day treat, but they are made with only 5 ingredients, include a veggie, and are sweetened with fruit!! I totally recommend saving this simple recipe to make for your favorite valentine!
The filling is sweetened with dates, a dried fruit I love using to sweeten my desserts. Dates are the perfect natural sweetener, so your valentine will never guess there are beets inside! Plus, dates are chock-full of antioxidants, potassium, fiber, and are low-glycemic.
