Joyce's Notes:  With Nissley Black Raspberry wine, you can turn ordinary ice cream into a festive dessert.  However, during cold-weather months, ice cream is not as appealing.  Using a  thick yogurt creates the island effect.  Smooth chocolate is easier to chop.

Black Raspberry Island
6 Servings

Ingredients

1

oz.

Chocolate Bar, smooth style

24

oz. Low-fat Yogurt, Greek style
1/2 cup Honey, room temperature

1

teas.

Vanilla Extract

1/2  cup Nissley Black Raspberry, sweet fruit wine
Directions
    Set out 6 dessert saucers.
    Chop the chocolate bar.  Roughly separate the larger nuggets from the smaller pieces and dust.
    Place a mound of nuggets in the center of each saucer.
    Stir the yogurt, honey and vanilla extract together.
    Using a soup spoon, place heaping spoonfuls of yogurt on top of each chocolate mound, completely hiding the chocolate.  Keep the yogurt in a rough shape; do not press it flat.
    Pour wine into the gully along the edge of each saucer (nearly 1 1/2 Tbsp each).
    Drop chocolate pieces and dust over the centers.  Avoid dropping chocolate into the wine, because the presentation will be less appealing.
