Raw Salted Macadamia Caramel Dip
This deliciously sticky, finger-licking dip has been shared with us by Gabrielle from Kitch'n Thyme! It's yummy as a dip for fruit, but is also perfect on pancakes! Maca powder is said to have health benefits that include extra energy and hormonal balancing. It does have quite a strong taste, so keep that in mind if you choose to use it in this dip. Gabrielle has created this recipe using organic ingredients where possible.
