➡️When shopping for ingredients:
Make sure your shredded coconut is unsweetened. I really love the “Let’s Do Organic” brand of shredded coconut.
Look for a higher percentage of cacao for the chocolate chips and always read the ingredients.
There are always lots of questions about chocolate brands – I like to visit the specialty (nicer) chocolate section at the stores and find a really high quality, (often organic) dark chocolate bar on SALE – so I’m usually trying something different each time because the sales determine my purchase. Always weighing cost vs. quality.
🍫A high-quality dark chocolate bar works great too! I’ll often find a beautiful organic dark chocolate bar on sale, then chop it up for things like this.
I like to buy the highest quality I can find when it’s on SALE! I’m always keeping an eye out for a good deal and will often stock up when a high-quality product is on special.
Use any dark chocolate chips of your choice: the higher cacao percentage = more health benefits.
