Are you worried about all the HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) in all the commercial candy and chocolate these days? Well, you should be. Aside from all the additives, that candy is made from genetically modified corn and laced with glyphosate pesticides that work like antibiotics and kill the microbiome. Who wants their kid to eat that?
It was bad enough 15 years ago, to have a child in school where teachers and administrators supported the use of candy to manage behavior in the classroom. Now, the candy is even worse, with HFCS as the leading ingredient in most commercial candy. What’s a mother to do?
Why, make your own delicious treats, of course!
Even if you are on a healing diet, once in a while you can make your own treat from high quality, healthy ingredients. Here are some of my most popular Paleo treats that would be perfect for Valentine’s Day!
These treats are grain free and made with high quality organic cacao that is loaded with anti-oxidants. There are no additives that you can’t pronounce – no pesticides – no gluten or wheat – no refined sugar, just organic honey. It’s all about the pure chocolate.
As with all treats like this, they are appropriate for special occasions and in moderation.
