International Tatting Day and a healthy chocolate treat

International Tatting Day is April 1st, coming up soon.  Many people also like to eat chocolate on Tatting Day.  As I gave up sugar a few years back, traditional chocolate is not an option for me.

I did, however, just create something today that does not make me feel guilty, but it tastes so good it SHOULD!  I thought I would share it.

In a small glass measuring cup or other microwaveable dish/cup, place the following items.....

1 tablespoon 72% cacao chocolate chunks (yes, technically these have sugar in them, but this is the good kind of chocolate, so I splurge sometimes)

1 tsp honey

1 tablespoon  or 1 1/2 tablespoons Sun Butter

1-2 tablespoons water

Place the cup/dish in the microwave and heat for 10 seconds, check, then another 6 seconds.

Stir with a spoon, slowly at first and then as fast as possible, until the mixture becomes a smooth butter in the bottom of the glass.  Keep stirring for a few seconds.  It amazes me how this happens, separate items transforming into a smooth butter that resembles butter cream frosting!

Just a couple tablespoons of this stuff is enough of a dessert for lunch and will definitely be on my menu for this coming International Tatting Day!

Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful day! 😀
