Paleo, vegan, and decadently chocolatey without turning on the oven. Dip, stripe, and dot for mummy faces; for extra oomph, blend a few dates into the base for natural sweetness.
Halloween Raw Chocolate Matcha Cupcakes
Rich cacao meets earthy matcha in a raw, chill-set treat often sweetened with dates. Serve straight from the fridge for clean slices and a striking green-and-dark contrast.
