Serving Suggestions: Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants and low in sugar. If you can't find dark chocolate chips, use a dark chocolate bar and cut it into chunks. Above pictured used Ghiradelli's Bittersweet Double Chocolate Chips found at Costco.

Cooking Tips: * Refrigerate chocolate chips 20-30 minutes prior to mixing in the food processor. If chips are room temperature, they will not chop well in the food processor.
