Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
 
Source: Sensational Stevia Desserts
By Lisa Jobs
 
Serving Size: 2 Tbsp.• Total Servings: approx. 8 (Makes about 1 cup sauce)

1-cup (8 oz.) chocolate chips (preferably Ghirardelli)
¼ cup 2% milk
3/8 tsp. stevia extract* (see book, page xii for brand variances)
¼ tsp. vanilla extract

In a 2-cup measuring cup, mix chips and milk. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir until chips are melted and mixture becomes smooth (you may have to microwave an additional 15 to 20 seconds).

Stir in stevia and vanilla. If small clumps are still present, beat with electric or handheld mixer until completely smooth. Hold the strawberries by the stem and dip them individually in the chocolate sauce and place on wax paper-lined cookie sheet. You can either serve immediately or refrigerate for 1 hour or more and enjoy.  You can also use this sauce as a fondue or delicious covering for other fruit, nuts, pound cake or angel food cake.  Refrigerate leftover sauce and reheat in microwave.
