The Daily Balance

It’s no secret that I love frosting. I mean, come on! Must I bash you people over the head with it?

Well for those of you who read Kath’s blog (and who doesn’t?) you’ll know that she recently mentioned a healthy, wholesome product that “tastes just like frosting.” Ummmmm what? This cannot be! You mean all those hydrogenated oils were for NAUGHT? You mean the sugar laden treats I stuff my face with can be healthier? Get outta town.

As much as I love Kath, I wasn’t about to “just take her word for it.”

I’ll pull a Quentin Tarantino and just tell you the moral of this story upfront (SPOILER ALERT): Kath is always right.

See, the folks at Artisana must have heard my belly aching (literally and figuratively!) and sent me a jar – along with some other delicious samples!

My word.

I think the photos speak for themselves.

With the wave of my magic wand, er, knife, a simple vitatop was quickly transformed into chocolate cake/brownie with buttercream frosting! This spread is so chocolatey, so decadent, so RICH. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you did not BUY IT NOW.  You bet your bottom dollar I’ve already ordered a replacement jar – heaven forbid I go one single day without this chocolatey goodness.

Have you tried Cacao Bliss yet? Do you know of any other healthy frosting alternatives (I doubt it, but figured I’d ask!)?

   Ooooh that frosting looks good. I always make really unhealthy buttercream icing, but I’d have to search for a version of this in the UK!

    Lately I’ve been obsessed with slathering Nutella all over everything. That’s healthy, right?

    Maranatha starte making something called Dark Chocolate Almond Spread. I wasn’t in LOVE, but it was good, and it did have a frostingy taste and texture.

    YUMMMMM!!!! I can’t get my hands on that fast enough!! I’m glad you’ve confirmed the frosting-like nature of this beautiful product! I eat a lot of buttercream frosting so if part of it could be healthy, I would feel sooo good.

    I have Cacao Bliss at home, but it’s so hard in the container … do you heat up your whole container when you eat it? I’m confused!
