Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and it is a time to share love and SWEETS! This recipe will satisfy your chocolate craving and also provide some great nutritional value. Strawberries are loaded with vitamin C, fiber, phytonutrients and antioxidants; and dark chocolate may help lower blood pressure and improve LDL and HDL cholesterol. 


Ingredients

1 cup dark chocolate chips

10 strawberries

1/2 teaspoon butter (makes chocolate shiny and smooth)

Directions

1) Pour 2 cups dark chocolate chips and 1 tsp butter into a microwaveable bowl; microwave approximately 30 seconds

2) Stir chocolate, repeat this step until chocolate is smooth

3) Dip strawberry in chocolate and place on wax paper

4) Refrigerate for 90 minutes, or until solid
