A savory combination of bittersweet dark chocolate with a salty cheese flavor will appeal to many. The main thing in this recipe is to buy delicious chocolate and cheese. However, when choosing cheese, be careful. Do not buy fatty and creamy cheeses, it is better to give preference to fermented milk (suluguni, feta, Adyghe, feta cheese) or low-fat hard varieties (Edam, Dutch).
A little about the benefits of cheese and dark chocolate
By the way, a paradox, but nutritionists say that cheese helps to lose weight, especially in the abdomen. Cheese contains protein, which saturates well, and, accordingly, satiety is felt longer. In addition, scientists believe that the calcium contained in cheese helps the human body burn calories more vigorously.
There is also the opposite opinion about chocolate. Many people think that any chocolate is a calorie bomb. However, it all depends on the dose. For example, dark chocolate is the leader in bioflavonoid and antioxidant content. And, according to American scientists, these components can help get rid of extra pounds. Therefore, if you want to lose weight, then choose dark chocolate, which contains a large percentage of cocoa (from 70%), since it is the healthiest. Well, an additional bonus - the bitter taste of dark chocolate controls appetite.
Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that with the correct and moderate consumption of Italian sweets (cheese in chocolate), you can not only not add volume at the waist, but also lose weight. But, overeating is not worth it!

Cooking Cheese in Chocolate
1. Cut the cheese into cubes about 1, 5 cm in size. Do not make them larger to make the candy look neat.
2. String each piece of cheese on a skewer or wooden toothpick.
3. Place the dark chocolate in a container, which is placed on a saucepan with water, so that the container with chocolate does not touch the water in the saucepan. Send such a structure to the fire. The chocolate in the steam bath will gradually melt and soften.
4. When the consistency of the chocolate is soft, grab the cheese by the toothpick and dip it into the melted chocolate. Swirl the cheese so that it is covered with chocolate on all sides.
5. Then put the toothpicks into a piece of bread, potatoes or any other product. You can also place the treat on baking parchment or food foil. It's not worth worrying about the cheese sticking to them, the chocolate will freeze and easily detach.
6. Send the dessert to the refrigerator for 40 minutes to freeze the chocolate. If you are short on time, you can use the freezer. Chocolate will harden in it in 10-15 minutes.
You can serve dessert directly on skewers, since it is most convenient to use sweets from them.
