We're a week into February and while the days may be longer, they are not long enough to wipe out the need for chocolate. With Valentine's Day on the horizon, I thought I would share a few easy DIY treats to help take the edge off the winter chill. Conventional chocolate offers little in the way of true satisfaction because it is often loaded with palm oils, dyes and processed sugar – leaving you feeling worse than before you scarfed the chocolate bar in the first place. Indulge your sweet tooth with tasty refined sugar-free swaps and plant-based ingredients for a refreshing update on the chocolate fix. The recipes are a delicious, easy way of satisfying your chocolate craving, guilt-free!
