Say YES to Chocolate - Dark that is!


For a while I've been eating dark chocolate here and there (even like the taste better) - it's filled with antioxidents and high in cacao doesn't make your blood sugar spike like crazy. Here's a fun recipe with dark chocolate and coconut. If you don't like coconut, replace it with those chinese crispy Chinese noodles.

Haystacks

1/2 oz. of dark chocolate (70% strong dark chocolate)

2 tbs. sweetened coconut flakes


In a medium bowl, microwave 1/2 oz. of dark chocolate until melted. Add 2 tbs. of sweetened coconut flakes and toss. Spoon 2 dollops on to a foil-lined plate or cookie sheet. Chill 30 minutes, or until set.


Two of these will run just 120 calories and only 8 grams of sugar!!! So when the trick or treaters come, don't grab a Kit Kat or Peanut Butter Cup, have these chocolate haystacks right there to munch on!!!
