Every time I was in my local health store, I would look at the packets of dairy free chocolate chips longingly, thinking of all the yummy treats to which I could add them – like my ice cream, brownies, slices, even biscuits.
But at $24 a pop for a little packet, that seemed a little indulgent to me – I want healthy ingredients, but that’s a bit ridiculous. And the non-healthy ones were not at option.
Classic white chocolate snacks inspired by the White Chocolate Spiders recipe from years ago!
It was basically melt white chocolate, add peanut butter, tip in crunchy noodles and that was it! I used to love them and then feel sick afterwards from all the crappy stuff in it.
It’s no secret that I am a fan of Chocolate and Peanut Butter together and in the past I would easily eat packets of Reese’s Peanut Butter cups until I was sick. Ah such is the lure of junk food. I’m so glad those days are over.
So in it’s place I created a healthy version that allows me to have a normal relationship with this type of food. I still love them to bits and enjoy eating them but because they are nutrient rich, I eat one or two and my body signals scream at me “that’s enough” and I can’t eat any more. A far cry from the past binge eating days.
So most of my weekly batches of Homemade Chocolate are the kind where I make a batch of Peanut Butter balls as well and combine them together. So much rich chocolately goodness, and on the satisfaction scale – 150%!!
