Fess up. You love
chocolate, right? And while it has been found that dark chocolate can be
beneficial to health, my guess is that a portion of you aren't that keen on the
bitterness that can sometimes be present in the cacao rich dark chocolates, am
I right again? So, how do you eat milk or semi-sweet chocolate to satisfy your
chocolate cravings and still feel virtuous? Easy! Make yourself a
Crunchy Chocolate Cluster, the basis of which is Melissa's delicious, and super nutritious Clean
Snax™
. Chock full of nutrient-packed
chia and flaxseed, and laced with honey and light salt, Clean Snax™ is also gluten-free and absolutely magical when covered in chocolate. You will love them, your
kids will love them, and they are nutritionally sound. Who could ask for
anything more?
Crunchy Chocolate Clusters
1 container Melissa's
Clean Snax™ in your choice of
one of the following flavors: Almond, Pumpkin Seed, Coconut and Cranberry
(I chose coconut).
1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Cover a cookie sheet
with wax or parchment paper (or a Silpat).
Using a sharp knife
and a cutting board, carefully cut each Clean Snax™ square into
quarters. They will crumble, and that's fine. Largely you just want to break
them up and have both big and small crunchy bits.
In the top of a
double boiler over simmering water, melt chocolate chips. When chocolate is
melted, fold Clean Snax™ into chocolate,
coating well.
Using a tablespoon, scoop up mounds of the chocolate-coated goodness and plop it onto
your covered cookie sheet. Allow to set out until cooled and the chocolate has
hardened.
Chow down and feel
virtuous!
