This is going to be your new favorite guilt free chocolate indulgence. Simple, cheap and convenient ingredients all combined to create an extremely flavorful, moist and decadent chocolate dessert that you’d never guess is low-fat, low-calorie and not too sweet.
This recipe came about because I had some extra carrots in my fridge (the whole bag was only $1.00 at the grocery store!). A box of chocolate cake mix, some orange jello and a desire to make some form of carrot cake that was low calorie. I scoured the internet for some inspiration and then thought, well chocolate orange sweets are popular and the spices in carrot cake pair well with orange, why not combine them all and see what happens. Well my intuition was correct, this combination rocks! Chocolate, orange and carrot may not seem like the most obvious combination, but trust me, this is worth a try!
