Break up the chocolate and consume with gusto while watching your favourite film on TV! I sometimes use soya milk instead of water which makes it taste even better! You can use 20 sucralose tablets instead 20g of granulated sweetener to save money (saves 15p). Simply dissolve the tables in the water or soya milk before adding it to the cocoa powder. The term soya milk – a perfectly logical description, is only disallowed for the description of the product in advertising or on the container. Just one of those annoying EU Rule Book matters that will never leave us because our dairy farmers don’t like the competition! The calorie density of this snack my be a bit high at 40% but raw chocolate is natural and good for you in many ways! It’s certainly better than any kind of chocolate you can buy in normal shops which has far too much sugar in the dark chocolate form and too much sugar and milk in the milk chocolate form.
