Description

Make these chocolate-dipped breadsticks as a pretty, sweet snack that isn’t all about sugar.

Method

Step 1 of 5

Put the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Remove as soon as the chocolate melts. Transfer to a small, high glass, so it is 5cm deep.

Step 2 of 5

Pour sugar 2.5cm deep into 3 glasses. These will help the dipped breadsticks dry without touching.

Step 3 of 5

Dip a breadstick into the melted chocolate, tilting the glass to get a greater depth of chocolate. Carefully drip off any excess back into the glass (they should be sparingly coated), and push the undipped end into the sugar in 1 of the glasses. Continue to dip all the breadsticks. (If you work quickly you could dip all 12 breadsticks in one go, but otherwise do half at a time.) Set aside until slightly tacky but not entirely set, about 20 minutes.

Step 4 of 5

Hold a chocolate-dipped breadstick over a bowl and pour the sprinkles generously over so they stick, and the extras fall into the bowl below. Repeat for all the chocolate-dipped breadsticks.

Step 5 of 5

Wait until the chocolate has set, then serve. These are best served on the day they are made.
