Guilt-free Chocolate Treats for Easter
We love Easter, not only does it welcome in Spring but gives us four days of work and valuable time with the family. But what is not so good is the extra pounds that you put on from overindulging in chocolate eggs and treats.
However that doesn’t mean that you have to forgo your love of chocolate – just rethink it. Instead of edible chocolate, why not indulge in chocolate coloured, scented and flavoured treat.
Here are our favourites:
