What’s chocavo?
It’s the healthiest, most delicious and richest icing you will ever have! 2 main ingredients….can you guess?
OH and did I mention these cupcakes are divinely delicious too?!
You will not be able to stop at one, but that’s OK because they are grain-free, soy-free, dairy-free, gluten-free and naturally sweetened…. seconds are allowed, guilt-free!
