Healthy, because

Nutritional values
The secondary plant substances from the dark chocolate have a positive effect on the blood sugar level, are good for the heart, protect against deposits and cell damage. The kumquats contribute to the vitamin C supply and also supply the mineral calcium for healthy bones and teeth.
Instead of kumquats, dried apricots can also be used for topping. A little cinnamon powder in the topping also adds even more Christmas flair.
