NO-BAKE PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE BITES
These no-bake bites are not only delicious but are filled with healthy fats & other nutrients. They are sweetened with dates, cacao chocolate & small amount of maple syrup. Even though these are a much healthier choice than most conventional desserts & treats, I still treat it as a dessert & only have it as a dessert for special occasions. Whenever I use chocolate chips, I look for the ones that have at least 70% cacoa in order to receive the true benefits from chocolate.
