The Perfect Edible Valentine Gift - Dark Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

The Perfect Edible Valentine Gift - Dark Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
The celebration of Valentine’s Day brings along with it many sugary temptations including;
  • Mazes of chocolates nestled in beautiful red boxes
  • Tiny candy hearts covered in love notes
  • Heart shaped red PEEPS (seems to me that these Peeps do not miss a holiday)
  • Red Foil Hershey Kisses…..You get the idea– the list goes on and on.
One sensible way to avoid these high sugar confections is to make your own Chocolate Dipped Strawberries—-so yummy your sweetheart will love you for your efforts. Let’s keep in mind that the centerpiece of this glorious combination is the nutrient -rich strawberry, an excellent source of Vitamin C and packed with antioxidants. Dipped in heart healthy dark chocolate (minimum 70 percent cocoa)—you now have a much healthier but OH SO TASTY treat.

Dark Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

All you will need is two ingredients:
  • 18-20 large fresh, strawberries (preferably organic)
  • 8-10 ounces (225 – 285 grams) of good quality, dark or bittersweet chocolate, rated 70%, chopped coarse
For the full recipe please visit the blog, A Food Centric Life. The hard part is eating just one or two. Pictured below is a 150 calorie serving (approximate) weighed using the EatSmart Precision Elite Kitchen Scale.
