Raw Chocolate Bark
Crazy about Cacao- Something to curb your chocolate cravings! Raw cacao is popping up in health food stores and recipes are everywhere. After years of thinking chocolate is bad for you, I am here to tell you the opposite! Raw cacao is the unprocessed version of cocoa and is packed with nutrients such as magnesium (which is good for healthy hair, skin and nails!), iron, calcium and copper. It’s high in the antioxidant resveratrol which helps protect your nervous system and contains phenylethylamine which is said to boost levels of the neurotransmitters that make us happy!!
