If you are a lover of chocolate like we are then this recipe is for you !! There are so many different things you can do with it, chocolates, chocolate bark recipe here you can make them into parcels and give them as little homemade presents and its great fun to do with the little ones !
As you will know by now I am really passionate about real food and ingredients ! When looking into the chocolate available in most shops I was concerned to say the least …. my favourite chocolates were, well, full of crap. Soya, E numbers , 5 types of different sugars disguised as something else and more ! Where was the chocolate in these chocolate bars ? So I went on the hunt for real chocolate – there are some amazing chocolates out there by some awesome companies that are delicious and full of goodness ( here are my recommended ones) but when you are on a budget and you LOVE chocolate like we do I wanted to be able to make my own – it had never really crossed my mind before until I discovered how easy it is !!
