Life’s little pleasures lie in the simplest of things, like chocolate. These raw chocolate macaroons are a great kids party food, after school snack, or a sneaky treat when you’re craving something sweet. I am even filing these goodies for my Passover menu plans! Karin, mom and nutritionist, uses coconut sugar which ranks lower on the glycemic index than regular sugar, making it a smarter choice. You can find raw cacao power on I-herb or at your local health food store. Now go get measuring and don’t forget to lick the bowl! Enjoy Karin’s recipe below.
