Baguette Magiques (Chocolate-Covered Breadsticks)

As we were vacationing in Disneyland Paris, France, we saw a Princess Recipe book at the Disney Store.  Who knew, right?!  Didn't know princesses actually cook in real life!  Well, being the foodie that we are, we took the book all the way home to Missouri.  Flipping through the pages, I realized it was written in French, but thank goodness we have our own translator no other than my French hubby!

"Baguette Magiques" is the first recipe that we tried.  They were very easy and fun to make.  Little Sweetpea took them to school for her "show and tell" and shared with her classmates- and they love them!  During their Christmas Party, we made them again only this time we changed some ingredients to commemorate the festivity.  Instead of using breadsticks we use pretzel sticks, and changed the colors of the sprinkles to red, white and green.  It's so versatile that you can play around, suits to any occasion and just have fun with it.

Ingredients

20 breadsticks or pretzel sticks, or more
150 grams (5.3 oz) dark, semi-sweet or white chocolate
Sprinkles (any colors or shapes), the idea is to have fun


Put chocolate in a microwavable bowl and microwave for 1 minute.  Stir in wooden spoon, then heat 30 seconds more if you need to.  One at a time, dip and roll bread stick in the melted chocolate to cover half of it.  Lay chocolate covered bread stick on a parchment paper and drizzle the sprinkles around it by carefully rotating it.  Repeat the process.  Let it cool on a parchment paper.  Enjoy!
