I’ve never been much of a sweet tooth person. I love dark chocolate or any treat that has honey in it instead of any refined sugar. Even when I was a kid, rice pudding was my favorite dessert! Here is a much healthier version to make yourself at home 🙂 You should even try and make it for your kids as a healthy dessert.
