 It is rich in unsaturated fats.
 We used coco powder instead of chocolate which
reduced the fat content of the recipe.
 Also using coco powder enriched the recipe with
minerals like iron, magnesium, and antioxidants like
flavonoids which are present in higher content in coco
powder than the regular chocolate which might lose
some of these nutrients during processing.
