Description
If you highlight your locks, like I do, you will especially appreciate this platinum pixie snack with its chic chocolate chip roots and sophisticated spices of coriander and cardamom. Cardamom is rich in vitamin C and riboflavin, and is considered beneficial to kidneys and bladder. Coriander is high in potassium and calcium, as well, and aids in digestion. And after your first bite, I’m sure you’ll agree that blondies are more fun! – Debbie
