How To Make Chocolate Sticks

Start by making the dough for the sticks. Beat together the sugar and eggs, then add the remaining ingredients to form a smooth dough.

Divide the dough, and roll into thin logs. Slice the logs into sticks, place them on a baking sheet and bake. Dip the baked sticks into melted chocolate and refrigerate until the chocolate is set.

Tips

If you like the combination of chocolate and mint, add mint extract to the dough, and sprinkle the dipped chocolate sticks with crushed peppermint candies.

Want more texture? Sprinkle the dipped chocolate sticks with crushed nuts before refrigerating.

Vary the sweetness by using a different type of chocolate. For added sweetness, use white chocolate. If you want to make it less sweet, use dark chocolate.
