Number four is a personal favourite of mine. I LOVE a
sweet treat (especially in the evening) so this section
allowed me to get my chocolate passion involved. I
wanted to create some ideas that were naughty
(of course) but with a slightly healthier twist by
substituting certain ingredients for better alternatives.
I’m so excited for you guys to try some of these, there are
so many gooduns!
