Halloween… It’s that time of year again when treats are all around us, which means the temptation to eat candy, chocolate, and sugar is at an all time high! Not to worry… I have a solution that will allow you to have your chocolate and eat it too! When you choose a dark chocolate, (especially one with 60% or higher cocoa content), you are able to get your chocolate fix with a fraction of the sugar and fat content than that of milk chocolate! Better yet, they now have Hershey’s sugar free chocolate chips, so if you’re sensitive to sugar, these are an awesome solution! As a special halloween ‘treat’ alternative!
This is a “kid friendly” treat- with a fraction of the sugar, fat, and calories than the average candy bar! Not to mention, the Chocolate Spiders include a healthy dose of fiber, has dark chocolate, which is rich in antioxidants! These treats are easy to make, and would be especially fun to make with kids! They would also make a great treat to give away as a gift, or bring to a party! Enjoy!!!

ohh I’m really curious about the sugar free chocolate chips! Do they replace the sugar with a different sweetener or are they just 100% cocoa?

Hi Katie! So nice stopping by to visit with you! Lovely place you have here. I have had the best time perusing many of your posts and enjoying your recipes and testimony. I smiled when I read the post about your aunt… My name is Lorraine but my family has always called me Lorrie. I don’t often see it spelled the same way.
Thrilled meeting you!
Kindly, Lorraine/Lorrie :)

This might be an even better option for me than the no-bake cookies and they already don’t have any peanut butter! Thanks so much. I’m enjoying getting to know your website. Never would have found it if it were not for Girl Scouts – once again! I’ve learned so much being a leader. Here’s my question. I’m thinking about the pretzel dipping. If we were to use Wilton candy melt chips, I could re-microwave the chocolate again and again. I’ll have groups of Brownies filtering through stations, so the chocolate that is in one mug will cool before the next girl comes over to dip some pretzels. I’d rather use this recipe than the melts. Do you think it can this be re-microwaved or will it turn to a rock? Thanks!
