You need these for your chocolate fix. I love good rich chocolate flavours and these are so light and airy, for being gluten free.
If you prefer them a little more sweet you could add some chocolate icing to the tops of them. I prefer them less sweet and with the combination of the chocolate and the dates I love it. Hopefully I don’t eat them all at once.

How much water do you use with the flax and yogurt?
Oh shoot good catch there. I forgot to remove the water that’s stated. So no water. Just yoghurt. I will fix that
The picture shows the chocolate being melted, but the directions do not list melting as a step. Only indicate putting dates and chocolate in a blender. Also do you add the cocoa with the flour or is this also going in the blender?
