Stefanie, Thank you for the information. π
Itβs the honey and nuts giving it 3 points. Iβd omit the nuts and make this 1 point. Some cocoa powder is 1 point so that might be where the extra point is found.
Hi Patricia, Thank you for the feedback! π
yum – I think I would use cinnamon instead of cocoa powder
