I'll Be Dipped In Chocolate

I make a lot of goodies that can be put on a cookie plate or taken on a tray to a party or smaller get together. One of my favorites is to dip, or drizzle with melted chocolate. Nothing could be easier than melting chocolate wafers and either using it dip to array of items in it or to drizzle it over things.

This first item turned into a quick and easy prize for one of the games at my daughters wedding shower.

I took a store bought box of caramel corn and turned it into Chocolate Covered Caramel Corn. Here is how I did it..............

Here are some other ideas that are quick, easy and delicious involving melting chocolate and either dipping or drizzling it.

Apples wrapped in caramel, dipped in chocolate and drizzled with white chocolate and then sprinkles.

Chubby Hubby Pretzel Bites. Peanut butter balls between two pretzels dipped in chocolate

Pretzel Braids dipped in chocolate and sprinkles

Chocolate Cups filled with Peanut butter pie filling or cannoli filling

Fortune Cookies dipped in chocolate and sprinkles

Easter bunny Peeps dipped in chocolate. I used them to decorate a cake.

Pretzel sticks turned into wands

Frosted Chocolate Cupcake dipped in chocolate

Chocolate dipped Strawberries make a great cake decoration.

Chocolate mice made by using melted chocolate as glue to hold together a hershey kiss and chocolate covered cherry.

Things that I have drizzled, dripped or made with chocolate

The local ice cream shop had leftover cherry dip. So I claimed it and drizzled it over a cake.

Made a fresh fruit tart and drizzled it with both white and dark chocolate.

Add heavy cream to make a ganache and pour it over the cake.

You can dip just about any homemade or store bought cookie and add sprinkles.

I make an assortment of shortbread cookies. Sometimes I add them to the tray plain or sometimes I put them over the top with a drizzle of chocolate.

Who doesn't like a chocolate dipped strawberry. I sometimes dip blackberries as well. If you look closely you can see that I stuffed the red raspberries with a white chocolate chip.

Made a cake topper by dipping a pear in chocolate and made his tail by painting a chocolate fan on wax paper and then adding chocolate dipped pretzels and candy to decorate it. Glued it to the body with melted chocolate.
