There are two types of people in the world: those who can give up chocolate in the name of healthy eating and those who can’t live a day without a little square of sweet, cocoa bliss. Just kidding: we all know that no one can say “no” to chocolate!
Thankfully, this sweet treat is packed with nutrients and antioxidants which means you can indulge guilt-free every once in a while. Choose dark chocolate that has at least 60% cocoa solids (the higher the percentage, the more health benefits) or unsweetened cocoa powder; they're the perfect ingredients for whipping up a satisfying treat that won’t derail your healthy eating plans.

You can skip the cane sugar with these peanut-packed cocoa treat. They get a touch of sweetness from maple sugar instead.
