Chocolate Superfood Slice

I’m a self-confessed chocoholic! I love chocolate, especially dark chocolate so if I can find a healthy treat that includes chocolate then I’m one happy gal!!

This slice is so simple to make and tastes so delicious that you will find it hard to stop at once piece.

Choc-full of nuts, goji berries and chia seeds it’s the perfect blend of health and treat in one slice.

Step 1. Grease a square 20cm X 20cm baking tin and line with baking paper.
