I made the Dark Chocolate Clusters that were featured in the February 2009 Vegetarian Times magazine tonight. They are soooo easy to make and only 88 calories each. They are Vegan & Gluten Free. Here is how they turned out:
My version included:
1 3.5 oz Trader Joe’s 73% Super Dark Organic Dark Chocolate
Trader Joe’s Berry Blend (Blueberries, Cherries, Cranberries, Golden Raisins)
Toasted Pecans
They are like having super chocolately covered fruit with toasted nuts – SO GOOD! Ok, back to The Bachelor Finale…..See you all tomorrow.
These look so good. It looks like the perfect after-dinner treat.
Super cool!
I’ve been meaning to make this recipe since I saw it in “Vegetarian Times,” but I kept thinking it would be too much work (and too rough on my waistline, too!).
I’m glad to hear that it was simple to make, and I love the picture, it’s scrumptious!
Kirwin ~ They are awesome and believe it or not, one is totally satisfying. It is worth the 88 calories. Definitely make sure to toast the pecans first because it makes a huge difference in flavor.
JD ~ You definitley have to try them. I didn’t use the dried apricots because I didn’t have them. However, I think they would be a nice addition. I only made a 1/2 batch for that reason, but, found, I was content with only one 🙂
