If you want a biscuit that’s delicious, moreish, and scrumptious (ok you get our drift…)  then make these Orange Kiss Biscuits!  This version is additive free, you won’t find a synthetic artificial food colour in sight, and we use real orange, not the synthetic fake stuff from the supermarket.  Yep, you have a look what is in their biscuits next time you’re at the supermarket, it’ll shock you!

It is no secret that we love our doTERRA oils, and part of that love is because they are 100% food grade oils. Personally, we would not trust any other brand to be food grade and as safe as doTERRA, so please, if you use another brand of oils you will need to ensure they are of the highest quality and approved for use within food.
