Chocolate on the Mind!


Well of course Valentines did what it usually does to me this year….puts chocolate on my mind. For some reason around this time, I just cannot stop thinking about it! Well, who am I fooling…I think about chocolate all year long. This time of the year it just seems more in my face. I mean, everyone is literally forcing me to eat chocolate. What is a girl to do??
Here are a few quick chocolate snack recipes and some more indulgent chocolate desserts. Enjoy and good luck getting chocolate out of your mind after this!

A few quickies…..

QUICK CHOCOLATE SAUCE

1 cup ghiradelli bittersweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup heavy cream

Combine ingredients. Microwave for one minute at a time until completely melted. Stir frequently. DO NOT overcook! Enjoy over ice cream, frozen yogurt, for dipping sliced strawberries and bananas or just enjoy with a spoon! (NO! I have never done that, but wow…doesn’t it sound good??)

INDOOR SMORES

Graham crackers, cracked in half
Nutella for spreading
Bananas, sliced
Marshmallow fluff

Spread one graham cracker with nutella, top with marshmallow fluff and a few banana slices. Top with other graham cracker half. Enjoy with a cold glass of milk! The kids will love this quick delicious treat! 🙂

CHOCOLATE COVERED ALMONDS

2 cups raw, unsalted almonds
1 cup ghiradelli bittersweet chocolate chips

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread almonds in a single layer. Melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl until melted and smooth. Using a quart size freezer ziploc bag, pour melted chocolate inside, carefully. Snip off a TINY portion of the end of the bag and squeeze chocolate liberally over almonds. When all of the chocolate is used up, place cookie sheet in refigerator until chocolate is set and hardened. Break up almonds using the back of a spoon and place in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator.
A great after school snack!
