I was looking for a healthy spread alternative and this chocolate date spread was the perfect choice
Will definitely try it tomorrow! Looks Delicious
Simple and tasty! It’s my go-to for toast and pancakes now, really feels homemade
Tastes good and healthier than regular chocolate spreads, but the grainy texture isn’t my favorite. I’ll try to make it smooth next time.
Really nice chocolate flavor! Smooth enough to spread on toast, and my kids love it too.
