Love that so many of these options have chocolate in them. Glad to know it’s not only me that absolutely loves chocolate for breakfast!!
Glad you like them! Dark chocolate actually has some surprising health benefits. Dark chocolate is actually fairly calorie-dense, but it’s great to eat in small amounts. If you’re adding it yourself, you can control what you put into your breakfast recipe. I’ve found when I check the calorie count in store-bought chocolate muffins, they’re basically the same as a sugar-filled chocolate cupcake!
