CHOCOLATE DIPPED WATERMELON

Today is National Watermelon Day, and here's a quick and easy way to combine watermelon and chocolate. Talk about a healthy treat--and only 80 calories per serving! Of course, you'll want more than one serving. I always do. The trick here, for me, is to freeze the watermelon wedges before dipping. Also, use a really good dark chocolate, not chocolate chips, so the chocolate will adhere to the fruit. And, I love to sprinkle these with sea salt for that extra taste!
