However, my desire to loose the rest of the baby weight (13 lbs) is usually much stronger than my desire for chocolate, so I came up with the following compromise:
1 cup of fresh raspberries

I took 1/4 square of Baker's Unsweetened Chocolate and melted it in the microwave for 15 seconds. Then added a little drizzle of agave nectar and stirred it up. Raspberries with dark chocolate sauce... HEAVENLY!
Baker's Unsweetened Chocolate
is 100% cacao and needs a tiny bit of agave or maple syrup to balance out the bitterness. But the combination is a beautiful evening snack.

Excellent suggestion! I do the same with 90% dark chocolate and various fruit.
ReplyDeleteMaxine, when I don't have Baker's Unsweetened in the house I use whatever dark chocolate that I have lying around (80%+) or a little cocoa powder and agave. Although, I really like being able to control the amount of sugar/sweetness when using the 100% cacao.
