OK, I figured a way to put a healthy twist on the chocolate covered strawberries (since I make them all the dang time...)
We're supposed to get 5-A-DAY!!!!
So, eating them increases our fruit intake. Which is ONLY a good thing. Along with a little chocolate, which is supposed to mimic dopamine and give us a sense of euphoria - much like love. Sooo, since this is a hard time in life, a little chocolate is a good thing, like ADs, and makes us feel loved ,so we don't do crazy things.....
Riiiiiiigggghhhht????????
So, grab a strawberry!
Choco Covered Strawberries 20 minutes - and (hint hint) excellent for those romantic surprises (OK, that will likely never happen in my case, so please, someone else try!!)
2 lbs strawberries 1 bag (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips 2 T veggie shortening (add nuts, cinnamon, whatever).
Melt chocolate and shortening in a pot on low/med heat. Wash and dry strawberries. Dip them (holding the green stems). And place them on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Place in fridge until chocolate is solid.
