Some still feel that the road to heaven is through the creamy goodness of a bar of chocolate. But there are certain facts related to our yummy chocolates
- Make no mistake; chocolates are high in calories, even those that are sugar free.
A 50 gm milk chocolate is worth 120 calories. - The nut rocks in the nut rocks or fruit dipped ones are invariably small in size comprising mostly plain nuts and very little chocolate.
- A whole strawberry or date enveloped in a thin coating of chocolate sauce and solidified reduces the calorie count considerably.
It’s better to opt for a filled chocolate than a simple milk one because the usual diary chocolate will come with a high amount of plain sugar whereas a high end one with a luscious filling would come with the goodness of cocoa butter and the fillings.
According to the experts selecting the right chocolate is an art and here’s what you should watch out for:
- A luscious piece of chocolate should have the innate pick-me-up feel about it, the kind you want to break the counter glass for.
- When you break the piece into two, there should be a crisp snapping sound.
On the other hand, if there is a liqueur filling, when you break the piece, the inside should ooze out in a single, shinning string. - Do not select any piece that has a whitish coating. This reveals that it hasn’t been tempered well.
- Once you have bought them, keep away from sunlight and store (preferably) in an air conditioned room rather than the refrigerator.
Like good wine, upscale chocolates can cost a fortune. However who is bothered about calories, just indulge your self in your favorite fruit ‘n’ nut chocolate, but do be careful in selecting the good ones. Indulge!
