HEALTH & BENEFITS

While Jiffy German Chocolate Squares are not the healthiest food option, the pecans and coconut in this recipe provide some health benefits.
Pecans are rich in heart-healthy fats, protein, and fiber, and can help lower LDL or bad cholesterol levels in the blood.
Coconut, on the other hand, is a good source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which can help boost metabolism and support weight loss. It also contains antioxidants that can improve skin health and prevent disease.
