    I didn't have any tapioca flour, so I used corn starch, and I used two packets of True Lime since I didn't have fresh limes. These are SO good! The only way to improve them is to maybe add some nuts. I served them to a group last night, and I had a leftover bar for breakfast this morning. :-) - 5/24/14

    These are great but the strawberries are not included in the nutritional breakdown nor in the calorie count so be sure to add extra for them. - 5/7/20
