    25 Healthier Chocolate Recipes

    Published: Jul 9, 2016 by Alyssa Β· This post may contain affiliate links.

    Let's talk about chocolate! Girl's (well, most people's) BFF. In my eyes chocolate is a sweet treat that defies seasonality. The cooler weather undoubtedly calls for chocolate in holiday cookies and mugs of hot chocolate, while summertime is all about chocolate ice cream, fudgsicles, and s'mores. And let's be real - even a few batches of warm and melty chocolate chip cookies because that ish is worth putting the oven on in the sweltering heat.

    But the issue with the treats mentioned above are that they're relegated as occasional fare. My body and teeth def wouldn't be feeling their greatest with the amount of sugar and fat that come along with a lot of decadent chocolate desserts...that I know for sure. My sweet tooth though is stubborn and demanded a work-around for this fairly strong self-control, hence my search for healthier chocolate recipes. Here's 25!

    I say 'healthier' in the title of this post, because the recipes in this compilation (that come from some of my favorite bloggers!) don't all fit into the same category of 'low-calorie', 'low-fat', etc. With this collection I'm deeming healthier to mean at least one of the following: lower calorie, lower fat, lower sugar, uses wholesome ingredients, fruit-based, etc. A healthier spin on desserts, breakfast, and snacks!
