A healthy dose of confection

Treat yourself to a chocolate dessert, 100 calories or less

What is it about chocolate? Decadent, rich, complex… it’s a treat like no other. A bite of chocolate can finish a meal or start a romance. And often one bite, or two, is all you need. More good news — dark chocolate (called for in all but one of these recipes) delivers compounds called flavanols that may have heart-healthy benefits. Don’t you just love science? And if you love chocolate, you’ll love these healthfully indulgent treats, each of them 100 calories or less.
