Type: Any chocolate greater than 50% cocao (dark chocolate) has less milk solids, less sugar, and more antioxidants (and more flavor). Be sure to select a good quality. If you are only using a little, it's totally worth it.
Moderation: Although I don't know anyone who can eat a whole bar of chocolate in one sitting, that's probably not the wisest idea. Stick to one or two inch squares. This should satisfy your sweet tooth without going overboard.
A trip to the farmers market this week meant LOTS of fresh, fragrant strawberries! I wonder what I had in mind...

Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Serving size: 4 medium strawberries
Strawberries
2-3 oz good quality dark chocolate
Wash and dry strawberries very well. Break or chop the chocolate in small pieces and place in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir. You may need a few more seconds in the microwave. Roll strawberries around in the chocolate, shake off extra chocolate, and place on a wax paper or parchment lined baking sheet. Place in the fridge until chocolate is set. The serving size is 4 medium strawberries. Extras can be placed in a parchment-lined tupperware and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
