This is so very yummy! I've made it a number of times for various occasions and it is always DEVOURED by all. I love to make it for kids parties too. The kids usually love it and its super healthy! Without the cinnamon chips it is also great to top pancakes, waffles, and an indulgent ice cream

I'll add a pic in a little bit
