unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a unique flavor.

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate with stevia

💰Cheaper: semi-sweet chocolate

Stevia reduces sugar content while still being sweet.

sweetened condensed milk

🥗Healthier: evaporated milk + honey

Honey adds sweetness without the calories of condensed milk.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour
