Girls Just Wanna Have Fun! So that’s what we did. Last night was our Girls Will Be Girls Event. Co-hosted by my good friend over at Perfectly Provo. You need to follow her. She has this edgy style that those of us in the corporate world can only dabble in part time. She’s also my hair stylist. So if you like my locks give her a jingle!
Well back to our party! We went with a chocolate theme since I’m convinced “Chocolate is a girls best friend.” We made these delectable bites for our Girls will be girls event which was a total hit. Our vendors and sponsors with such a plethora of talents made the event a real treat! One of the delicious delicacies there were these amazing Paleo Raw Chocolate Tartlets. We made them in orange and mint. Honestly whatever oil is your taste of choice please feel free to experiment. Warning: These are addicting and don’t taste paleoish meaning they are really delicious even for “normal” people!
