I'm wrapping up February with my last Treat Yo Self chocolate. It's been a crazy month. So many things happened that were out of my control but I feel like I handled them better than I used to.
Having all sorts of chocolate everywhere in the stores was not helpful.
However, I did prepare myself with some healthier alternatives. Which BTW have you seen Gourmet Makes | Bon Appétit's YouTube videos where they take "junk food" and make healthier versions of them. They are awesome and worth checking out.

So these are not paleo. I would say they are a jot healthier than Reeses Peanut Butter Cups...and they definitely taste like them even with the almond butter.
However, they have actual sugar, it's organic sugar, but it's still sugar. Although, they don't have soy or dairy, and the sugar is less per gram than a Reeses. If fair-trade and also being vegan is somthing you are into, they have you covered.
They definitely have that nostalgic ripple on the outside, and yes, I bit off all the chocolate around the sides before eating the center.
I've had a lot of paleo treats this month and this isn't paleo, you can tell. It has that crack signal that sends it to the brain that it's extra delicious. This is one of the reasons why I don't eat sugar. It's addictive no matter what form it's in, organic or not. I'm definitely saving these for very special occasions only.
