Homemade Paleo Chocolate

Are you having a sweet tooth craving?

I know I get them all the time.

I get them pretty much on a daily basis.

What is my food of choice?

CHOCOLATE! I admit it. I am quite a chocoholic.

I would go as far as eating chocolate chips out of the bag.

As delicious as that sounds, the sugar adds up quickly and I get a stomach ache right after.

Does this happen to you?

I feel you!

I’ve come to accept that processed chocolate no longer serves me and I eat it as minimally as possible.

Which is why I found this awesome recipe for minimally processed chocolate that I get to share with you!

It’s not as sugary sweet, but just enough sweetness to leave you satisfied with eating less.

Enjoy my recipe for homemade chocolate!
