Chocolate Pizzelle

 Pizzelle come in many flavors in both sweet and savory flavors.  This recipe is for Chocolate Pizzelle.

I have been making Pizzelle for 30 + years.   Started with a basic recipe and then expanded into other flavors.  You will find a number of recipes on my site that includes: Basic Pizzelle, Anise, Lemon, Almond, Red Velvet, and Pistachio.  



To get the recipe click on the photo below to open.  Once open right click on the photo and save to your favorite spot on your computer or just print it out. 




Red Velvet Pizzelle Cookies

 My family loves Pizzelle cookies.  We have been making them for over 30+ years.   Started with a recipe from my mother-in-law for basic flavored Pizzelle in either Anise or Lemon flavors.   Now we make all kinds of Pizzelles.   

This recipe for Red Velvet Pizzelles we started with cake mix.   





Once you make the batter and cook them off on the pizzelle maker you can cut, trim, fold or form in to shapes.   


Or as you can see from the photos of above you can dip, smear or drizzle in chocolate or white chocolate and decorate with sprinkles or as you see fit.

Ginger Cookies

This is a recipe for a nice chewy ginger cookie that can be eaten plain as is.  It can be sandwich together with frosting of your choice or it can be drizzled or dipped in white chocolate.   

Your family will enjoy them but you can also give them as a gift or add a few to a cookie tray.




The dough comes together nicely in a few minutes.  Put in the fridge to firm up.  Roll into balls and then roll in sugar and bake. 

This is how mine turned out. 


Here is the recipe.

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. 

Used a squeeze bottle filled with chocolate to paint this turkey on wax paper. 


 Still more things  you can dip, drizzle or pour the chocolate onto.
