Sugar Free Easter Delights

Easter is just around the corner and one of the best opportunities to indulge in yummy mouth-watering chocolaty treats.

So what will the bouncing bunny be bringing you this year?

In Supercharged HQ we’ll be ditching the sugar-high brightly coloured candy, marshmallows and Cadbury Crème eggs to indulge in delicious Gooey Chocolate and Raspberry Cake, Chocolate and Coconut Roughs and Ginger Heart Biscuits.

Just because some indulgences are “free from” doesn’t mean they have to taste meh… like cardboard.

These delicious heart-smart treats are high in anti-oxidants and although dentists may be up in arms because they are sans sugar, we love the results.

Hoppy Easter!
