Chocolate and pear, the perfect combination. When you sweeten with fruit rather than large amounts of refined sugar, you know you’ve got a winner you can comfortably go back for seconds for! These have been a hit at my place in the afternoon, full or fibre and chocolately goodness and an absolute cinch to make!
