The combination of sultanas (or dates, which provide the natural sugar within the recipe) and the almonds provide a good hit of energy. This slice is high in mono unsaturated fats for long sustained energy and also contains a large quantity of anti-oxidants from the cacao powder. A tasty and healthy sweet snack with NO ADDED PROCESSED SUGAR!
