Dark Chocolate Recipe
Hi Foodies,
Do you love Chocolates? Of course you do. Who doesn't love it! For me, chocolate is the go-to energy booster and motivator. This sweet indulgence is also enjoyed during diets because it’s irresistible. Chocolate can be enjoyed in many forms – chocolate cream, chocolate chips in biscuits, cakes and even shakes. Chocolate sauce is an excellent topper for many meals like pancakes, fruits and ice cream.
For all the ado over chocolate, it provides many health benefits if consumed moderately. A study has claimed that eating dark chocolates helps you sleep better at night as they contain a vital nutrient which helps to regulate the body clock.
Dark chocolate is good for heart and blood circulation. It reduces risk of stroke. It helps lower the bad cholesterol levels and raise good cholesterol levels considerably. Eating dark chocolates is beneficial in such major health challenges as autism, obesity and diabetes. If you're stressed, try eating some of them...you'll actually feel better. To get that smooth, youthful skin, have dark chocolates in moderation.
Dark chocolate (the ones that has coco content higher than 70%) and are made of natural ingredients are the ones you should go for. It is definitely hard to find one in store these days and keeping that in mind I have a quick and easy recipe to make your own natural dark chocolate with just 3 simple ingredients in less than 10 minutes. So let's jump into it.
