Mug Monday – White Chocolate & Cherry Mug Cookie

White chocolate and cherries – well this is a combination that is my husbands favourite. He love this mug cookie, actually his first mug cookie! I think he pretty much licked the mug clean 🙂

Did you know that white chocolate is not really chocolate in the strict sense, as is does not contain any cocoa solids and only has trace amounts of theobromine and caffeine ( main elements in dark and milk chocolate).

Lets not get misguided with the cherries, I’m not sure if this would really count as part of the 5 day, as glace cherries are soaked in sugar syrup and have lost a lot of the nutritional goodness in the candied process.
