Healthy Chocolate Tiny Teddies

Submitted by peachy_pie

"Tiny little chocolate cookies with no refined sugar or flour... perfect for the lunchbox! They are rather dry and not supersweet, but very delicious. Perfect for a snack with a cup of milk or tea. If you need them sweeter try drizzling some melted chocolate on the top and popping them in the fridge to set."
