Making these easy from-scratch chocolate chunks is so simple, and they taste delicious! You will never want store bought chocolate again!

Store bought chocolates can include a host of ingredients that are easy to avoid when making from-scratch. Ditch the refined sugar, natural flavor, and soy lecithin, among others!

Always read labels when buying processed foods from the store. There is almost always a cleaner option available, or a way to make the same product from-scratch to ensure the highest quality ingredients and no fillers!

Not only can made-from scratch be a healthier option, it also tastes better in my opinion!
