Chocolate Is A Superfood!

Antioxidants

We ingest harmful particles known as free radicals in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and from toxic sources such as cigarettes. Left unchecked, free radicals damage cells and hasten aging. The body’s natural mops, antioxidants, counter free radicals and support health and longevity. While many whole foods like fruits, vegetables and nuts are rich in antioxidants, cacao is, incredibly, number one of any food. Cacao boasts about 30 times the antioxidants of red wine, for example. For the most pleasurable and effective dosing, eat with chocolate with berries; it’s been shown that you’ll assimilate two to three times the antioxidants you would otherwise.

Micro-nutrients

Open Cacao Pods

Cacao’s most impressive nutritional boost comes from its magnesium and chromium; chocolate has the highest amounts of these two minerals of any food known. Magnesium and chromium deficiencies are the two most common among Americans, making cacao a truly medicinal food. Chromium balances blood sugar to soften the landing of chocolate sweets, while magnesium supports heart health.

Preserving the Flavanols

Cocoapro®, a process developed and patented by Mars, Incorporated scientists, helps to preserve the cocoa flavanols that occur naturally and abundantly in cocoa beans. The Cocoapro® process begins from the moment the beans are harvested and continues through every step of the process from fresh beans to finished product.  Mars’ Cocoapro® process is different. This patented process centers around a gentler, less harsh way of handling and processing cocoa beans from the time they are harvested through the time that they are made into finished products so that all products made using this Cocoapro® process deliver more of the flavanols found naturally in cocoa.

Petite Chocolate Mousse Cups and Dove Chocolate Discoveries

I chose this picture to introduce the "Festive Finishes" line because it's so...well, festive looking.   Dove Chocolate Discoveries (DCD) has a line of products that are fantastic for amateur and expert bakers alike. DCD is much more that just chocolate! The company has the knowledge and know-how to create distinctive and delicious products to fit all aspects of your customer's lifestyle. For example, the Chocolate Mousse Starter Kit and Truffle Fudge Brownie Mix are great for the no-fuss gourmets, but they also create awesomeness like the mousse cups pictured above. 

Another favorite is the White Chocolate Meyer Lemon Baking Mix. 

Meyer lemon is a delicious cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange to give you a sweeter, fresher lemon taste. It blends perfectly with the DCD White Chocolate and Madagascar bourbon vanilla that make a deliciously different cake or cupcake. Whips up in no time with the additional Meyer lemon frosting included. Here's a favorite recipe: 

You’ll need:

- 1 Package DCD White Chocolate

- Meyer Lemon Baking Mix

- Chocolate Sprinkles

- Pretzel Sticks

- Cake Pop Pan, or similar

Directions:

- Mix cupcake mix according to the directions; bake in the cake pop pans for 11-14 minutes at 350 degrees

- When the cake balls are cooled, dip the tops in the glaze, then roll them in the chocolate sprinkles

- Insert pretzel sticks into the top to create the stem

There are an entire menu of other easy bakeables like Saigon Swirl Cinnamon Roll Mix and Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix and Chocolate Chip Gingerbread Mix which made the following yummy. Make gingerbread cookies, persons or even a holiday ginger cake. Just add DCD Merlot Fudge Sauce and fruit and OMG you have the best treat around.
