I love everything about Easter. The reason; Christ's resurrection. The beauty; springtime. And the delicious array of delectable choices! Below are my favorite three "treats"….enjoy and Happy Easter!
Chocolate lovers: Nothing tastes as good as chocolate…..especially "special dark chocolate." Hershey's makes the most affordable and one of the most delicious assortments of dark chocolates in a miniature (1 oz) size. For under $4/bag, you can have the perfect portion size for a quick delicious treat.
Ice cream lovers: Edy's Ice Cream has a "no sugar added" ice cream (Buy one get one free - on sale now at Farm Fresh) with "to die for" flavors including butter pecan and various chocolate laced flavors. About ¼ cup will keep you under 200 calories! While this product isn't at the top of the wellness list, it's still a nice treat every now and then.
Fruit lovers: A chocolate dipped frozen banana or strawberry is one of my all time favorite treats. Slice a banana into 1" thick pieces or use one small/medium sized strawberry, insert a tooth pick. In a sauce pan on low heat, melt 2-3 oz of special dark chocolate in order to "dip" the fruit (you'll only be using a fraction of the chocolate on the actual fruit but you'll need more in order to "dip" the fruit). Once chocolate is melted, using the toothpick dip fruit into chocolate, then place on waxed paper and freeze for one hour. Approximately 125 calories per serving (really depends on how much chocolate used).
Enjoy and Happy Easter!
