Autumn Chocolate Bites

Kelly from Primally Inspired 6 Comments

One of my very favorite quick treats is my homemade, healthy, easy chocolate recipe. It’s so easy. Like 2 minutes easy.

Plus it’s the best tasting chocolate I’ve ever had. Seriously. If you read the comments, I’m not alone in thinking this.

And let me make your day for just one minute in case you didn’t know this:

Did you know chocolate (real chocolate made from cacao) is one of nature’s best sources of antioxidants? Chocolate even trumps the acai, pomegranate, cranberry and blueberry in polyphenol content (polyphenols protect the body from chronic disease) and antioxidant capacity!

I thought you would like that 🙂

But anyway, many of you know that I’m super obsessed with anything pumpkin this time of year. Give me ALL the pumpkin!!! If you are like me, you’ve got to check out my top 25 favorite paleo pumpkin recipes. Love.

So I did what any pumpkin obsessed girl would do and fancied up my favorite chocolate recipe with some pumpkin spiced goodness!

I made these chocolate bites with tiny pieces of Autumn color and flavor in every bite. Total perfection, if I don’t say so myself!
