What is better than a macaroon? A chocolate one of course!
Lindt makes a line of 75% cacao chocolate bars. I find them at Wal-Mart for about $3.00. They are very bG (blood glucose/sugar) friendly!
One square of 75% eaten slowly after a meal is decadently satisfying. 4 squares have 11g total carb, and 5g of dietary fiber. Dr. B advises that we can subtract half of the fiber count to arrive at the number of carbs that will affect our bG. For 4 squares that is 11 - 2.5 which equals 9.5. As I mentioned 1 square is rich enough to be satisfying for me, so that would only be 2.4 carbs.
If you melt a square of Lindt in a saucepan on low, stir when it all looks melty and then drizzle it on the macaroons, you will have enough chocolate to cover about 6 with a scant amount of carbo being added per cookie! Enjoy!
But be warned these are very hard to forget.

Melt the chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat. Dip a fork into the chocolate and drizzle it over the macaroons in a zigzag pattern.
