Dark Chocolate Covered Pears Recipe

If you're going to indulge, do so wisely, with anti-inflammatory focused foods. This dessert combines fiber-rich pears, omega-3 rich walnuts and cocoa, one of Dr. Perricone's favorite superfoods. To reap the many health benefits Cocoa can confer to the body and skin, choose extra dark chocolate- preferably 70 to 85%. When possible, look for "non-dutched" cocoa, as the process of "dutching" cocoa significantly reduces the amount of flavanols in cocoa. Enjoy!Makes 8 chocolate-covered slices

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons dark chocolate
2 pears
4 tablespoons chopped raw walnuts
Waxed paper

Preparation:

Clean and slice pears in quarters, omitting core and seeds.
