Bran Bombs

These little beauties stay lovely and moist for a few days so you do not have to scoff them all right away (apparently).  Note the lack of butter that has been replaced with a healthy and cholesterol free alternative.  Its the oil that keeps the moistness in for days.  While there is some sugar a lot of the sweetness comes from the fruit filling as well.

These little darling are guaranteed to clean out your pipes and considered yourself warned - 7 in a 24 hour period will cause a definite reaction.
