HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!! "Want to impress your loved one with chocolate? Take it easy and try this. Wrap them up in a cute box and give them to someone you love. When you get rave reviews about how good they taste, you can divulge how easy and good for you they really are, OR you can keep quiet and relish that feeling of being justa tad sneaky". Tee heee.
(makes 12 pieces)
1/3 cup freeze-dried strawberries
3 large shredded wheat cereal biscuits (about 2&1/2 oz.)
6 oz. dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa solids), or milk* chocolate
Place the freeze-dried strawberries in a resealable plastic bag, and use a mallet or rolling pin to crush them until they are mostly pulverized with some small pieces remaining. Line a rimed* baking sheet with wax paper. Use your hands to crush the shredded wheat into threadlike pieces over a med. bowl. Place the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan filled with a few inches of barely bubbly water (med. heat). Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Melt the chocolate, stirring frequently, for about 1 min., then remove the bowl from the pan. Add the crushed shredded wheat to the chocolate and stir until well coated. use your fingers and/or a large spoon to transfer 16 T-size stacks of the cereal-chocolate mixture onto the wax paper. Sprinkle some of the crushed strawberries on top of each stack. Refrigerate for about 20 min. or until set. Store and serve at room temp.
