I love chocolate and if I could eat
it every day I swear I would. Crepes on the other hand I love too and could eat
every second if I could. So put chocolate and crepes in the same sentence and
you have me gone into foodie paradise. These very easy chocolate crepes are
decadent and can be served up as a dessert, for breakfast or even brunch, every
minute of the day if you will! As much as you can devour these delicious
chocolate crepes on their own, you can add extra toppings to make them that
much extra. Toppings include fresh fruit, whipped cream, cream cheese, ice
cream, dulce de leche sauce for a sweet taste.
You can decide to pair the topping options like using peanut butter and bananas,
whipped cream and strawberries, jam and peanut butter or even apples and honey.
When it comes to the batter since the
crepes are so thin you want a super smooth chocolate batter. The pan should be
hot so that they cook quickly enough. Add enough batter to cover the bottom of
the pan completely so that the crepes are not heavy. I love how light and airy
these chocolate crepes turned out and I finished a whole batch without
blinking! That’s how good these are and you will definitely be making them on a
daily basis, not only for special occasions but just because.
