"One must ask children and birds how cherries and strawberries taste."
-Goethe, Writer
The refrigerator light goes on...
Don't be fooled by the fact that this is only 43 calories per serving. It has all the chocolate flavor you crave but the slight fruitiness of the strawberries makes this an almost perfect sauce. Use it on almost any dessert.
