No guilt here.
Okay, so it’s hard not to stumble over the meaning behind Easter and get completely lost in mass consumerism. Is it me or does each year seem that ‘we the people’ are seduced and manipulated to dizzying heights of chocolate ecstasy and a huge sugar rush that’s going to take weeks to recover?
But wait, no need for Joan of Arc today. It’s Easter and a celebration of life, so I’ll resist my rant from my lofty old soapbox and just give you 5 sugar-free Easter Recipes that will give you and your family a happy chocolate feast without any guilt, reduce your carbon footprint (yes, the packaging this year is out-of-control) and a nice healthful dose of chocolate without the perils of a sugar slump no-one sees coming, but when it does. Oh, dear!
Here they are. 5 sugar-free Easter treats. Enjoy.
