Just For Mom
Happy Friday Mom!
Earlier this week I came across a great article, that I just had to add to our "Just for Mom" Health Section. It is called The Health Benefits of Chocolate.
Inspired by the article and nothing but our health in mind ;) I looked around the web and found the following recipes. No need to feel guilty about these, after all it's health-food.
Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients
Instructions
Melt chocolate chips slowly and carefully so they do not burn. Try the microwave. Let cool slightly. Beat egg whites with sugar until stiff peaks form. Into the cooler chocolate beat the egg yolks one at a time to make a nice creamy mixture. Now fold the whipped topping, then the egg whites....GENTLY....If you like, let it have a streaked appearance, a marble-like look. Place into a pretty serving dish and sprinkle with nuts. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
Bittersweet Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Ingredients
Instructions
Cream softened butter,add sugar,brown sugar, egg, and vanilla . Stir flour with baking powder and salt; blend into creamed mixture. Add nuts. Chop chocolate bars into small pieces; stir into dough. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375-F for 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool on racks. These cookies are delicious served warm when the chocolate is still soft. To reheat cookies in the microwave,process 2 or more cookies for 15 to 20 seconds.
And of course I had to come up with a spa recipe for us this week that incorporates chocolate.
