Calling all Chocoholics

Who doesn't love chocolate? There are always those people who said that they would easily pick salts over sweets. Well, not this gal. I am proud to be a chocoholic and once I learned that dark chocolate has some health benefits, you can bet I was going to begin incorporating that into any desserts going forward.

There's honestly nothing more satisfying than making dessert out of something that's good for you! I always loved going to The Melting Pot when I was younger. Being able to dip fruits, cookies and pieces of cakes into a big bowl of melted chocolates was the epitome of a great weekend back then.

Although weekend plans have certainly adjusted as I've gotten older, I will always have a love for chocolate fondue. Last night I decided to make my own mini-version with a healthier dark chocolate melt. As a standard, I always have dark chocolate chips in my fridge. I love the crunch and since you're only "allowed" to have 6 grams of chocolate per day I can control my chocolate cravings to a few chips rather than having to tempt myself with a huge Hershey's bar.

Long story short, I had bananas that were about to go bad, some cut up strawberries and dark chocolate chips. I easily melted the chocolate chips in the microwave (1 minute, roughly) and then spooned some dollops onto the sliced fruit. Once they had enough chocolate I put them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and to develop a strong, chocolate coat for my HumpDay dessert!

Enjoy!
