As many of you know, dessert is my favorite food group. If I could, I would make chocolate 90% of my daily diet. I am constantly trying out ways to help curb my sweets cravings in different, healthy ways. Now that the weather is turning into boots and scarf season, my holiday spirit has cranked way up.
