Chocolate Covered Strawberry Fat Bombs

I had some strawberries. Thought I would try covering them in my "Re-assembled Chocolate".
I took a small jar and put the cocoa butter and butter in it. Melted in microwave. Added Cocoa Powder and a squirt of liquid Splenda. Mixed well.
I wanted as thick a coat of chocolate that I could get. So I topped the leaves off of 12 medium strawberries. Put in open container and chilled them in the freezer. I didn't want them to be frozen. Right after that, the chocolate mixture was a little warm, maybe about 100 degrees. SO I put the jar in the fridge to cool it down, but not solidify it. After about 20 - 30 minutes, I took both out and dropped the strawberries ~ one-at-a-time in the jar of chocolate. The chocolate froze immediately on the strawberry. I spooned it out and placed on parchment paper on a plate. Repeated until all were covered. It just so happened to be the right amount.
Put back in fridge for another 20 minutes.
Tried one. WOW! It was so good, that I ate six of them! There are as good as sugar chocolate. The key is using unrefined cocoa butter. I got mine from bulkapothecary.

12 medium (fresh) strawberries
Directions:
Melt butters together in microwave using small jar

Enjoy,

I think it would work great. Actually, since cocoa butter melts at a higher temp, you don't have to freeze them like you do with coconut oil. So, if you only have to put them in the fridge, the strawberry won't freeze (thats a good thing).
I have some fresh raspberries.... guess what I'm making tonight?

Well, everyone, I was making some chocolate cover raspberries tonight and noticed I got the Macros wrong on the above recipe. I accidently left out 1 tbsp. of cocoa buttet in the MFP. So I shorted it by some fat. Sorry about that, here are the corrected macros:
