Default Chocolate Wine

Ok, not a REAL chocolate wine but I thought I
would share the following:

I got some "Stevia" from the health food store.
Stevia now also comes in chocolate flavor.

Soooo, I thought, why not add some to a glass of
some of my not so great wine. To my surprise it
was quite good. You could definitely taste the
the "chocolate" flavor. I used two drops but I
think you could use only one and tell a big
difference. If you have some wine to experiment
with - or if you just like chocolate, you might
give it a try. It is probably definitely easier
than trying to make a chocolate wine from
scratch.

BTW. I forgot to mention Stevia has ZERO
calories. Happy Holidays to all.

Dang, the local health food stores do not have the liquid or flavors.
So I must order online, so a question - was it milk chocolate or dark
chocolate? I also see Chocolate Raspberry, which is tempting. At $10 a
bottle, I'd rather get the one proven good. smile.

I used the dark chocolate. A couple ounces goes a
LONG way when you are only using a drop or two
per glass.

You could start with about 4 drops per bottle and
work up from there if you want more chocolate
taste.
