I love chocolate so much that I end up wearing it all day when I’m making a dessert recipe! Yesterday I rolled into work and one of my co-worker stopped me and said “Hey you’ve got something all over your back! Is it chocolate?”
I guess that just comes with the territory.
I am a certified chocolate fiend. I think I can stick with a clean diet as long as I can have chocolate.One good thing about this recipe is that it freezes well and is good for over a week in the frig, so when you feel that midnight craving coming on, it’s there for you!
This raw vegan ganache is pretty easy too, so you’ll have plenty of time to lick the spoons.
