Good news! Dark chocolate is healthy.
Did you know that high concentrations of cocoa found in the black chocolate helps improve the vascular function to relax blood vessels? If it reduces the risk of blood clots, then it helps avoid cholesterol accumulation, and if these benefits are able to improve proper cardiac function then it helps decrease high blood pressure!
If this is good news, why continue to be guilty about eating chocolate? For as long as we eat in moderation, perhaps it doesn't hurt that much, don't you think?
Ingredients:
- 8 oz Sweet or milk chocolate, finely chopped
- 24 ridged potato chips, thick-sliced
Procedure:
Melt 6 ounces of chocolate. Remove from heat. While chocolate is still hot,mix the remaining 2 ounces milk chocolate into the melted chocolate, stirring constantly. Dip the potato chips one at a time into the chocolate mixture. Using a small fork, twirl to coat completely. Rap the fork with the coated potato chip at the edge of the bowl to shake off excess chocolate. Remove any drips from the bottom by running the fork across the edge of the bowl. Slide the chips onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Allow to cool until solid. Let chips sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Makes two dozen chips.
