HOW TO PREPARE CHOCOLATE STICKS, ONE OF THE DELICIOUS DELICACIES IN THE COUNTRY. NO HOME VAN AFFORD TO MISS IT. 

Chocolate sticks 

INGREDIENTS 

1 egg 100g (1/2 cup) sugar 

240 g (2 cups) flour 

4 g baking powder 

90 g (1/2 cup) butter 

400g melted chocolate . 

METHOD 

In a bowl, add the egg, sugar and mix until the sugar is dissolved. Sift the flour and the baking powder, add the butter and knead until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous and compact dough. 

Wrap the dough in cling film and place it in the fridge for about 40 minutes to harden. When the time is up, cut a piece of shortcrust pastry and make a long, thick loaf just under a little finger. 

Cut the bread into sticks about 8-10 cm long. Arrange the sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven at 180°C/356°F for about 12 minutes. Melt the chocolate and, using tongs, completely dip the cookies, one at a time, into the chocolate. 

Lay out on parchment paper and let it cool completely before serving.
