OK. Thanks. I was thinking 30 – 45 seconds since the first time in the microwave was only 1 minute. I will watch it.

Ooopps…seconds not minutes….BUT microwaves do vary in cooking time so keep an eye on it so you don’t burn it. You may need a little less or a little more.

That is correct….milk chocolate has some lactose. Probably small amounts but still has some. And the other issue with chocolate is fiber!! Chocolate comes from a bean. We know the FODMAPs in cocoa comes from fructans and GOS–(they are fiber sources)–so try to also pick a chocolate with less fiber. Some fair trade or specialty chocolates can really be quite a fiber dose. I hope you enjoy the chocolate dipped fruit!

I was planning to make chocolate covered strawberries for my Valentine’s party this weekend. I think I will add some pineapple chunks and make them look pretty with toppings!! I have been wondering about chocolate and FODMAP content. I think I tolerate dark chocolate a little better, which I think makes sense since it has no or little lactose?
