Cream Puffs
 
 
I finished these cream puffs of three ways. First I melted chocolate in a double boiler and dipped some of the tops of unsplit cream puffs. The second ones where lightly drizzled with leftover chocolate from dipping. The final ones just received a light dusting of confectioners sugar.
