Sustainable Palm oil

Palm oil is actually good for our health as long as it isn't hydrogenated, but you should watch out for these few oils. Here's the link of an article about vegetable oils and a little experiment you could do to see how certain vegetable oils turn into plastic:

Just make sure we purchase only SUSTAINABLE palm oil

Previous post mentioned not being able to melt the chocolate. I put the chocolate in the microwave until it just starts to melt and then carry on with the rest of the recipe as instructed. The one mistake I have made in the passed was using slightly too much water. It needs hardly any, the mixture seems way too thick but just persevere with it..."
