If you're looking for a light chocolate treat to satisfy a sweet tooth, give these skinny vegan chocolate pops a try. They are naturally gluten-free, vegan, refined sugar-free, and paleo and raw (if you're ok with a few drops of liquid stevia). They can easily be made without the stevia too by substituting some additional liquid sweetener of your choice in place of stevia and a bit more cocoa powder. They're not quite a fudgicle (not creamy enough to be called a fudgicle in my books, but almost there), but they are very chocolatey and delicious.
If you make them exactly as per the recipe below, they're only 44 calories a pop! Adding in an additional tablespoon almond butter (for more creaminess) adds about 10 calories to each pop. Adding in an additional tablespoon cocoa powder adds about 2-3 calories a pop. Adding in an additional tablespoon maple syrup adds 5 calories per pop. So even if you added an extra tablespoon of each thing, you'll still be under 60 calories a popsicle. So next time your chocolate or sugar cravings are up, give these pops a go — they're definitely on the light side of desserts.
