If you want to make up for lost calories quickly or you desperately want to eat something sweet - try chocolates in a pancake mixture . Preparation does not require much philosophy. Make the mixture you normally make for pancakes, just thicker. If you want the mixture to be more compact, you can also add baking powder, and for flavor there are rum, vanilla sugar and orange or lemon peel.
Choose chocolates according to taste, and keep them in the refrigerator before preparation or put them in the freezer for an hour before preparation. You can cut them into smaller pieces to get balls or roll them into a piece without thinking too much.
Skewers or toothpicks are a practical tool that you can use for easier coating with the mixture. If necessary, shorten the sticks, stab the chocolates and roll in the mixture on all sides. Add complimentary dessert with vanilla ice cream , ground nuts and whipped cream.
