& has anyone tried the new Booja Booja raw truffles yet? The raspberry ones are fabulous.

There is another brand by the Raw company & they do a chocolate/coconut & cinnamon/raisin version. They're moist and delicious.

Here here pinkcharge... & they also sell below cost too... although I doubt that's the case with Nakd bars.
