I feel like a 5 year old seeing their 1st ice cream cone! Rather than giving you a million recipes that can include chocolate, I thought it would be more fun to share fun facts about Chocolate. Even though I did just eat a whole container of homemade chocolate made from coconut butter and pure cocoa. Lord it was so good! It’s good for my brain right..and my heart? lol
