If you like chocolate, you are going to love this week! It is Choctoberfest, the time of year my friends from all over the blogosphere get together and celebrate our love for all things chocolate. From healthy to over the top indulgent, you will find chocolate love with a little something for everyone.
Today, I’ve got the perfect recipe for you for those times when you need a little bite of something indulgent. I am all about balance, so though I eat well most of the time, there are times when I just have to have chocolatey sweetness.
This Chocolate Toffee with Pecans is full of sweet buttery richness, with the perfect nutty chocolate coating. It is so rich that it only takes a small piece to satisfy even your strongest sugar cravings.
Speaking of sugar, did you know that most sugar you find is GMO? No, thanks!
