Homemade chocolate is surprisingly super simple to make! The finished product tastes sooo creamy and decadent... we LOVE it!
The antioxidants in dark chocolate have been long shown to support heart health, brain health, and reduce inflammation. Chocolate that is at least 70% cacao is your best choice to reap all the health benefits dark chocolate has to offer!
This recipe is only 5-6 ingredients and honestly tastes better than store bought! We like to keep these dark chocolate cups stored in the freezer and top with a little nut butter and jelly for a yummy snack or dessert🙌🏼
