3 Sumptuous ways to enjoy your Healthy Chocolate

Eating an ounce of healthy chocolate….is an event to be savored. Try the following suggestions:

1. Nibble one delicious square of chocolate – at about 150 calories – for a highly satisfying snack when you crave chocolate.
2. Alternate bites of your chocolate square with an ounce of almonds (about 20-25). An ounce of almonds contains about 6 grams of protein, 35% of your daily Vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids (but no cholesterol!) and as much calcium as a ¼ cup of milk in 160 calories.
3. Finally, the third sumptuous suggestion is to use the healthy chocolate as a frosting. Melt your chocolate in small dish placed in very hot water.

Dip or spread your melted chocolate. Flavorful fruits for dipping include apple slices, dried apricots, raisons and strawberries. Excellent baked goods include angel food cake, graham crackers, unsalted pretzels and lady finger cookies.

Let your confection harden in the refrigerator for a few minutes before enjoying.
