It is usually a busy time for most of us now. We are running around preparing and getting ready for the celebrations. Even though it will probably not be the same Christmas as usually this year, we still would like to celebrate it the best we can.
It is a special time of increased feelings of love, warmth, gratitude, happiness, laughter and connections with friends and family.
But also, a time where we worry a bit more about our waistline and letting ourselves go again during the festivities.
There is a solution for that though. You can still enjoy your Christmas sweet treats and add to your joy rather than your waistline.
I was trying out a few things in the kitchen the other day and I accidentally came up with this simple chocolate recipe that is so delicious that your usual sweets will not be missed.
I am sharing this recipe for you to enjoy it without any guilt as it only has clean ingredients.
