While some would shy away from giving gifts during special occasions, there are a few who go the extra mile just to celebrate Mother's Day and give their mom a beautiful chocolate box. Some will even go for a delicious organic raw dark chocolate truffles made with sprouted nuts and sprouted seeds.
Now that I am a mom I can't tell you enough how incredible yet exalting and exhausting to be a mom can be. We basically forget ourselves for a few years to make sure that our little babies grow and thrive. Mother's day is the only day Moms are getting into the receiving mode rather than giving like they are commonly used to do.
Six years ago my life changed in a way that only happens when you’re expecting (twins)….
All I wanted was my French Rocher Suchard and Nutella…but I knew better. Such treats are filled with sugar and other “stuff”. With the high risk of gestational Diabetes in pregnancies with multiples and my own family history of Diabetes I knew I had to watch it!
New to America and health conscious California, I was already becoming aware of the importance of organic ingredients, so I searched but couldn’t find any chocolate that was organic, raw, unprocessed, dairy free AND gourmet.
By gourmet I mean magnificent tastes and textures, magnifique quoi …. hey I’m French….vive la gastronomie. I even sent my poor husband scouring every store, but rejected each and every chocolate he brought home as either not pure and healthy… or just yucky!
