During my freshman year of high school, my mom started stocking our pantry with at least five different types of dark chocolate at all times. The majority came from Trader Joeâs: their little three-packs up by the register, their pound-plus bar, a black-wrappered bar, a tube with little discs about the size of a silver dollar (but they no longer sell those!), thin individually wrapped barsâŚ
Perhaps it was just due to stress at work, but Mom accidentally got both of us hooked on dark chocolate! We finished our afternoon snacks with a small piece, ate a larger serving after dinner, and nibbled on a tiny bit just before bed.
Now that I work from home, thereâs nobody to see (or judge me!) if I sneak a piece after every meal⌠And every snack⌠And maybe even every dessert⌠Chocolate basically qualifies as its own food group, in my book!
So if youâre in the same boat, Iâve compiled this list of 13 Must Try Clean Eating Chocolate Recipes for you! Theyâre all secretly healthy and contain no refined flour or sugar, but they taste just as indulgent as traditional recipes!

Your mom is a smart lady stocking up on all that goodness! HA. So many options I don’t even know where to start. ALLTHECHOCOLATE.
Agreeing with you there, Amy! I LOVE dark chocolate! These recipes all look fantastic – and on the subject of dark chocolate, I made your Dark Chocolate Peppermint Coffee Creamer recipe and added it to my cup of coffee on Christmas morning, and it was delicious! I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas.? Happy New Year!?
I’m so glad you loved the coffee creamer Katie!! That means a lot to me that you included one of my recipes during your Christmas festivities. I’m honored! đ I hope you and your family had a lovely Christmas too!
Wow, your mom has good taste! TJ’s dark chocolate is the BEST! I’m pretty sure that before I left the house, the only “good” chocolate I’d ever really had was See’s!
I will never turn down See’s! Especially since they give free samples at the mall… At least I hope they still do! đ
