Make yourself irresistible -- create a selection of delectable mouthwatering chocolates.
Andrew Chase
Planning to give chocolates for Valentine's Day? You can make even better than you can buy with these recipes, which allow you to choose the best-quality chocolate, select fresh nuts and your favourite dried fruits -- and mix in a generous helping of heartfelt affection.
Good-for-you chocolate
Go ahead, grab a piece -- chocolate, especially dark chocolate, which contains 70 per cent or higher cocoa solids, is a rich source of flavonoids. These compounds have an antioxidant effect on our bodies.
Careful, however: Chocolate is also a rich source of calories and fat; moderation is key.
