Just saw this recipe by Giada DeLaurentiis. Made it yesterday and was blown away by how good it is.

1/2 c. semi sweet morsels
4 very ripe avocados
1/2 c. agave nectar
1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa
1 T. vanilla
1/4 t. salt
vanilla almond milk for thinning, if needed

Melt the morsels in microwave and add to a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients and process til very smooth.

Enjoy!

    My first reaction was a negative one, but on second thought, I think avocado and chocolate could be good combination. Hubby claims to hate avocados, I might have to slip this one in on him. lol

    That's what I thought when I first heard of this recipe. All I could think about was guacamole covered in chocolate :) It's funny, I invited my neighbor over to try it and guess the secret ingredient, and she couldn't. Neither could anyone in my family. Topped with fresh berries would make it that much better. Let me know if you try it and what you think.

    Can you taste the avocados at all since I don't like them. I have tried lots of things I never thought I would like. Thanks for posting.
