I understand that there are a lot of negative remarks of brown sugar, but this brown sugar bars are actually made from unrefined cane sugar. According to Chinese traditional medicine experts, it provides warmness throughout women’s body especially the stomach, improve blood circulation and relieve pain. It’s especially beneficial to women who had just given birth or have an irregular menstrual cycle.

With Coconut milk, it is very rich in vitamins and minerals. It is a great dairy substitute and commonly consumed in asian but high in calories. So consume them in small amount.

Remember, healthy food doesn't mean low in calorie. So enjoy them in moderation as part of your balance diet. Make them for your family or friends and enjoy!
