With the release of our new Red Yeast Rice formula, we got inspired to make a delicious, guilt-free snack that you and your family/friends can enjoy!
We have chosen to release this Red Yeast Rice formula to help those who may be struggling with high cholesterol levels, and for others who want to maintain overall balance in their cholesterol levels.
Studies have shown that diets high in sugar can cause cholesterol levels to increase, thus leading to other potential issues down the road. Since this is the case, we always like to provide people with low-glycemic, alternative options to their favorite desserts so no one misses out on their favorite treats!
These caramel apple pie “taquitos” make the whole house smell like fall and are the perfect treat for those looking to enjoy something sweet without all the sugar.
We hope you love this recipe as much as we do! And as always, tag us in your photos on social media when you make these and let us know your thoughts! :)
