Any chocolate-lover will love these decadent little Low Carb Chocolate Pots for their chocolate fix.
I serve these often when we have friends over for dinner and they always love it, even though most of them are usually not following a low carb lifestyle.
In fact, my philosophy when entertaining, is that I serve all low carb foods – I never cater for ‘normal’ diets.
Anyways, I love that these are so easy to make! They’re delicious and can be quite dangerous – don’t say I didn’t warn you… But go on, make these ASAP!
