Orange-Goji Chocolates

Ricki Heller of Canada strives to create sweets that provide a sense of indulgence without spiking blood sugar levels or encouraging Candida to proliferate and that’s why she loved this recipe & we think you will also. Since the Anti-Candida diet doesn’t allow oranges, the NEW NuNaturals Orange Flavor Stevia Liquid proved to be a great healthy substitute in this tasty treat.

(SUGAR-FREE & Suitable for Anti-Candida diet (ACD) Stage 3 and beyond)
