I’ve met a great group of colleagues at work and we’ve started a cooking club.  Every month or two, one of us will host the rest and we learn how to cook or bake something new.  This time around was a chocolate covered edition.  We went wild dipping and decorating some pretzel wands and strawberries!

Double boiling the chocolate is a must for success.  White chocolate is harder to keep melted but if you move quickly, you can get a lot out of one batch.

The dark chocolate double boiled stayed liquid for a long time.

First step is dipping the goods in chocolate.

Get your toppings ready!

We had a lot of fun with this 🙂

We added a lot of personality to some of the sticks.

You can even make little faces with different toppings.

We also made some delicious strawberries.

And dressed ’em up in tuxes.

Too cute!

We boxed up the goods and everyone could take them home.  It’s a great group dessert cooking activity!
