I made these tonight and they were pretty good. The bittersweet chocolate brought out the sweetness of the berry. I need to tweak the recipe a little, like maybe next time use heavy cream.
These are the carb counts based on my caculations..please jump in if I've mis-figured.
4 blocks of unsweetened bakers chocolate - total 16 carbs/8 net carbs
1/2 cup half and half - total 5 carbs - from Fitday.com
2 Tbsp. Vanilla - 0 carbs
Liquid sweetner(I used spenda) to equal 3 cups of sugar - 0 carbs
25 strawberries - total 21 carbs - from Fitday.com
Melt first 4 ingredients over double boiler, stirring constantly until smoothly melted.
Spear strawberry with toothpick and dip. Place on wax paper until chocolate hardens, store in cover container in fridge.
Ok, let me get my trusty caculator out and do the final numbers.
25 Delicious chocolate dipped strawberries at 42 total carbs - 35 net carbs
The bottom line:
each choco dipped strawberry is 1.68 carbs/1.4 net carbs.
