Healthy Chocolate Crackles
What's great about it
Chocolate crackles were one of my favourite things to make when I was a kid, so it was only fitting that I had to recreate a healthy version for you! This recipe is featured in my Healthy Baking Cookbook has been child-approved, so it's perfect for school holiday baking fun with your little ones.
I've used Healthy Chef Naked Chocolat Mylk in this recipe, which makes it taste like a caramel milkshake. Chocolate is also rich in a compound called resveratrol. Resveratrol helps to control inflammation and protects your brain as well as calms the nervous system. Research also suggests that resveratrol can support mental health by increasing the brain’s production of feel-good endorphins and serotonin. Personally, I'm a huge chocoholic so to satisfy my cravings, I'm constantly creating guilt-free chocolate desserts and snacks with Naked Chocolat as part of my stress therapy which helps satisfy my cravings.
