Last night my mom and I decided we wanted a little treat, so we made chocolate covered strawberries. Who doesn't love chocolate covered strawberries? (Unless you're one of my sisters and the chocolate gives you migraines... sorry E & S!) Since we're both watching how much sugar we consume, we decided to make the chocolate a little healthier. We used 85% dark chocolate and sugar free chocolate chips. I melted the chocolate down over a double boiler (of sorts. In this case it was a small stainless steel pan and a small metal bowl). The best way I have found is to use a high temperature spatula to stir the chocolate. A high temp spatula can handle the heat and won't melt. Once the chocolate was melted, we pulled the chocolate off the heat and dipped our strawberries. I wasn't sure how the chocolate was going to taste, but I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised! The strawberries were a tasty little treat!
