Finally! Guilt-Free Chocolate







Everyone is all too familiar with the nagging feeling of guilt that creeps up on us as we throw the empty wrapper in the bin. It always starts off as one square... two squares... a row... a half a pack... gradually followed by the shameful act of licking up the remains.



Of course, I can only be talking about chocolate.



Chocolate has always been known as a friend and a foe - it picks us up when we're down, but leaves us paying for it as we mentally calculate how many minutes on the treadmill it will take to burn off.



Many of you may have accepted this as a cruel fact of life, however some very clever and considerate people have provided us with a brilliant sollution that will have you eating chocolate on a daily basis - and this solution is known as raw chocolate.



I stumbled across this creation in a magazine and thought it too fantastic to not share with my fellow chocolate lovers. The Raw Chocolate Shop sells only raw chocolate and explains that by preserving the natural goodness of the cocoa bean, there are many nutritional benefits to be had by eating raw chocolate.



The only difference between raw chocolate and normal chocolate is that the cocoa beans used for normal chocolate are roasted at such high temperatures that it destroys the goodness of the beans, as well as other unhealthy ingredients being added.



Raw chocolate also does not offer the refined sugar that makes normal chocolate so bad for us in the first place.



As well as being considered a superfood and offering the first probiotic chocolate in the UK, raw chocolate is known to be a delicious substitute for normal chocolate.



It sounds too good to be true!
