Chocolate and vegetable slice??

It's possible that I may have gone a bit far with the whole hidden veg thing here but I know some parents really struggle to get a single serve past the lips of their little angels.

This is dedicated to you!

Seriously, you can't taste what lurks within. As far as the kids know, it’s just a yummy, chocolatey treat. I swear, it doesn't taste the slightest bit healthy.
