But honestly, unless you eat a piece of chocolate you are never satisfied. So after making these detox dark chocolate bites, I have discovered a new guilt-free way of enjoying desserts.
The French word for these chocolate bites
These Detox Chocolate Bites are also known as Mendiants in French. As per Wikipedia, mendiant is defined as a traditional French confection composed of a chocolate disk studded with nuts and dried fruits representing the four mendicant or monastic orders. Mainly, Mendiants are made during Christmas, recipes for this confection have veered away from the traditional combination of nuts and fruits to incorporate seeds, fruit peels, and other items. But the main funda is to make a chocolate disc and top it with your favorite seeds and dry fruits and nuts.
