Hey everybody. Happy Valentines Day! I hope ya'll are enjoying it with someone you truly care about today. Well, being that it is valentines day we decided to mix it up and give ya'll the up side to having that sweet chocolate treat this valentines day. Did ya'll know that dark chocolate, not white or milk chocolate, but dark chocolate has some health benefits to it? Dark chocolate is a potent antioxidant, which helps get rid of free radicals and therefore helps fight against heart disease. Dark chocolate can also help lower blood cholesterol. These are two great reasons to enjoy that little treat on valentines day. Here is a recipe for a chocolate fondue that we found on sparkpeople.com. Enjoy this with fresh cut fruit for a nutritious dessert!
