HEALTHY CHOCOLATE RECIPE
I’m definitely a chocolate lover! Many of my favorite desserts have always been chocolate desserts or had some chocolate in them. I must admit, I even once had a “chocolate cupboard” in college! LOL. At least that’s how my friends referred to my cupboard full of chocolate!
I struggled with the fact that I loved chocolate, but it didn’t fit into my healthy lifestyle very well. Plus, I didn’t like how it made me feel after I ate it. Sugar crash! I tried high-percentage dark chocolate, too, but even many of the high-percentage-dark-chocolate bars have a lot of sugar in them.
I have a low-thyroid and multiple food allergies/sensitivities that I’ve found out about since my “chocolate cupboard” days. Basically, it came down to staying away from chocolate completely if I wanted to be the healthiest I could be or find a way to make healthy chocolate. I wanted to stay away from cane sugar, dairy, and gluten. This led to me creating this indulgent healthy chocolate recipe to be able to do healthier baking and tasty treats with! And it really is sugar-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free!
