This is a chocoholic’s dream recipe and offers “balance” to healthy living. It is the equivalent of a personal hug offering indulgent cocoa comfort just when you may need it the most.
I have tried this recipe using different brands of ingredients but I have found that by using “Green and Black”, organic products and spelt flour the sensual experience on your taste buds is just orgasmic and worth every cent of the indulgence.
