Well, we have already done chocolate waffles here, so when I saw the recipe for chocolate crepes- I thought, why not? After all, exactly how much chocolate is too much?
My mom gave me a cookbook for Christmas called, “Chocolate Never Faileth” by Anette Lyon. I am so excited to try this book it did not take long to start. But being as it is all about chocolate, it might take awhile. The book is divided into many sections including cakes, cookies, pastries, puddings and more. One chapter in particular that intrigues me is “Non-edible chocolate bliss”, but we will get to that one later. 
On to the crepes… the highlight of this recipe was that I had an easier time turning these crepes as opposed to the recipe that I typically use. Anyhow, here is the recipe:
Chocolate Crepes
1 C Flour
1/4 C Cocoa Powder
3 Tbsp Sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1 C Milk
1/3 C Water
3 Eggs
3 Tbsp Butter, melted
1/4 tsp Almond Extract
The recipe recommends blending the dry ingredients and wet ingredients in separate containers and then mixing them together, perhaps with a blender. To cook the crepes, preheat a heavy skillet on medium high. Grease the skillet, this may have to be done prior to every crepe. To make the crepe, pour 1/4 cup batter onto the hot skillet. I rotated the skillet to spread the batter thin across the pan. Although the method of tipping the pan was easy… it did not create the most circular crepes. Anyway, the recipe recommends to cook the crepe 30-45 seconds on first side, then about 15 seconds on the other side. I cooked the crepes probably about 15 seconds more per side than what was recommended… but this could depend on the stove top temperature.
One additional note is to use a heavy skillet if possible… otherwise the heat does not dissipate correctly and the crepe burns easily. As far as toppings… anything you want. We added berries, whipped cream and chocolate sauce. The chocolate sauce might have been a bit much, but that might just be pregnancy speaking too. 
Finally, the recipe recommends to save the crepes for no longer than 2 days. If you are cooking for a small amount of people, I would cut this recipe in half. My husband and I each had a few, I had more that night… and we still ended up throwing out some.
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoy breakfast, especially if it includes chocolate. I hope you get to try some!
Happy Monday-
I love making crepes…never thought to throw in some cocoa powder to change them up. Great recipe!
You can never have too much chocolate, right?
I think chocolate ebelskivers are next… if you don’t know what those are, you will just have to wait!
OK You had me with the photo. It looks good enough to eat.
That is what I like to hear! Thank you!
Oh yum! You’ll laugh, I received a crepe pan for Christmas. I used to make them all the time. I went in search of my pan and couldn’t find it. So long story short my husband gave me a new one. I plan on making and creating crepe recipes for my blog too.
)),. Of course I WILL be making these. 
I have love crepes forever and I have not made them for awhile. And I have a crepe pan! I think a big reason is I used to do breakfast at dinner alot and my husband does not care for that trend.
ok chocolate Chip waffles are a HUGE HIT in my house–one breakfast my hubby doesn’t skip—IF I made these I’d be QUEEN of the Castle!!!!
That is hilarious! I think my little boy was too young to really know what to do with it.
That looks sooooo good! I think knowing that was waiting on me would get me out of bed any morning.
Not sure what gets me out of the bed… but it would definitely be a bonus if I did not have to make them.
YUMMMMM!! I don’t know if I should make them myself, or leave the recipe lying around with “HINT HINT” written on it for my husband. I’m pregnant too–and chocolate has been one of my major cravings. Thank you for sharing this!
It is definitely coming back as one of my favorites. With my last pregnancy I was adverse to sweets for about 6 months! Thanks for coming by, I hope you get a chance to enjoy them!
Looks scrumptious! Great photos too btw!

That looks gorgeous! How much chocolate is enough? Hm, that is a good question, but I don’t know the answer.
My answer to how much chocolate is enough? Depends on the day… Thanks for coming by!
