being a chocolate lover and trying to cut back on sugar is a very difficult task...so i actually try to add a lot of healthy stuff to my chocolate...which i think is reducing sugar at least a little bit.
there are so many recipes for energy bites and granola bars out there and for sure i am going to try a lot more.
...white chocolate and red fruits are such a great combination...delicious and beautiful...so i am going to start with my first three attempts to make chocolate a bit more healthy.
white chocolate cherry cashew bites, white chocolate barberry granola bar, white chocolate strawberry pistachio bar...yummy...!!!
