Valentine’s Day is full of temptation with so much chocolate in the shops. Unfortunately, with multiple food sensitivities, including dairy intolerance and a bad reaction to cocoa, I cannot eat chocolates any more. I was really missing them. I was put off trying some of the other “chocolate” recipes I have come across, as they seemed quite complicated. With a few minutes to spare while prepping for a Valentines Day dinner party, I decided to try my own version. I am so glad I did!
Further Food Commentary:
Chocolate is a delicious treat and for those who cannot tolerate cacao, carob is a great substitute. Carob is high in antioxidants thanks to the polyphenols it contains and it has been shown to lower cholesterol. It is also high in calcium and in selenium a mineral important for overall health that’s not so easy to find. Without using simple sugars, this is an excellent treat!
