Tips to Make it Healthier

- Swap sugar for raw, natural honey. For added texture, taste and experiementation try using raw honeycomb that is right from the hive.
- Taking out all fats is not a good idea at all, your body needs them! Instead, cut out animal-based fats and trans and saturated fats.
- Add lots of fruits to your dessert menu (caramelized pears, anyone?).
- Avoid sweets high in sugar, fillers, preservatives, and artificial flavors when snacking.
