Have a chocolate craving or a sweet tooth? This is a perfect recipe to provide a little chocolaty goodness as well as some healthy fats from avocados. Cocoa powder is made from crushed cocoa beans, the same beans used to make chocolate. Cocoa beans aren’t naturally sweet—the sugar is added in the chocolate making process.
