I don’t know anyone who does NOT enjoy chocolate. Dark chocolate has so many health benefits. This simple super food helps to improve memory, provides UV protection due to the flavonoids, anti-inflammatory properties, a mood enhancer by increasing endorphins and serotonin levels, regulates blood sugar levels and provides iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, dietary fiber and calcium. So go ahead and have some good for you dark chocolate.

 

SERVES: 36

 

INGREDIENTS:

4 ounces intense dark chocolate (86%) , Ghirardelli

4 ounces bittersweet/semisweet chocolate (60%), Ghirardelli

7 ounces sweetened condensed milk

1 tsp pure vanilla

dash, sea salt

6-8 ounces meltable chocolate

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

Over medium low heat, in a double broiler, heat chocolate and condensed milk until melted; meanwhile stirring consistently until it has a marshmallow texture. Stir in the vanilla.

Remove from heat and place chocolate in a glass airtight container; let chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

Once chilled, either use a melon baller scoop or roll in balls with your hands. Once rolled, coat them in the meltable chocolate. I used a fork to pick up and remove the chocolate : tap on the side of the bowl with the fork to remove excess chocolate before placing onto the cookie sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt, nuts, or even shredded coconut for personalization. And voila! Homemade delicious treats for you and the one’s you love. Enjoy.
