2 cups Blue Bunny® Premium Bordeaux Cherry Chocolate

4 duck breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon peppercorns

2 cups spinach, washed and clean

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Remove from the oven, lay the spinach over the top, and add a pinch of salt. Keep the pan away from the fire until needed.

For the sauce:
In a saucepan over medium heat, slowly melt theice cream until thick bubbles form. Remember to stir constantly.
