Ground cherries have a subtle pineapple flavor and are great alone or made into salsas, pies and relishes. They are simple to grow and are fun to experiment with in recipes. I saw a few blog posts over the winter featuring ground cherries dipped in chocolate and couldn't wait to give it a try. The cute "paper wrapper" they grow in makes a great handle for dipping. I also rolled few completely in chocolate. Since I had the chocolate all melty and ready to go, I figured that a few raspberries should make the plunge as well. They were all delicious.

I haven't seen that type of chocoate before, but the food co-op has lots of good chocolate bars filled with fruits like blueberries,cranberries, raspberries....even hot chili peppers! Dark chocolate is my favorite.
Dark chocolate is the best! Is it the Menomomie co-op you are talking about? Fun place but I haven't been there in a long time. I get this chocolate in one pound bars from the Trader Joe's in Woodbury. They are just $3.99 a bar. The darkest I have seen there is 72% chocolate. I like 85% best but there are not too many brands that make it.
Thank you for the great idea. I would love some raspberries, blueberries, or hot chili peppers dipped in chocolate.
Hot chili peppers in dark chocolate? Hmmm. Worth a try :)
Isn't everything better with chocolate? :-)
Have you tried Dagoba Eclipse bars? At 87 percent cacao they are the darkest of the dark...only 7 grams of sugar in the entire bar. I like them, but hubby wimps out and goes for the sweeter ones. But he does use raw cocoa nibs (ground in a coffee grinder) on his Purely Decadent coconut ice cream. Is it getting hungry around here or is it just me? hee hee
Connie- Raw cocoa nibs are great.
Although Lindt isn't necessarily my favorite chocolate, they have a 90% bar that is very good. The Dagoba 87% is great too.
