Instructions:
-
Prepare the Nutella Cream
In a small mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and icing sugar together using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. This will take about 3 minutes. You want the mixture to be thick enough to coat the breadsticks, but still soft and fluffy. -
-
Incorporate the Nutella
Once the cream mixture has formed soft peaks, gently stir in the Nutella using a spatula or spoon. Mix until the Nutella is fully incorporated, and the cream becomes a smooth, thick chocolatey spread. -
Dip the Breadsticks
Take the breadsticks and dip each one into the Nutella mixture. Coat them generously, ensuring each breadstick is evenly covered with the creamy chocolate mixture. -
Add the Crunch
After dipping the breadsticks, roll them in your choice of chopped nuts or colorful candy sprinkles. The nuts will add a lovely crunch and depth of flavor, while the candy sprinkles provide a pop of color and sweetness, making these breadsticks even more enticing. -
Serve and Enjoy
Place the chocolate-coated breadsticks on a plate or serving tray and allow the coating to set for a minute or two. These breadsticks are best enjoyed immediately for maximum crunch and flavor, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for a few hours if needed.
Serving Suggestions:
- These crunchy choc-topped breadsticks are great for kids’ parties, lunchboxes, or as an after-school snack.
- Serve with a glass of milk, a hot cup of chocolate, or your favorite iced coffee for a more indulgent treat.
- If you want to make the breadsticks even more exciting, try dipping them in different toppings, such as crushed cookies, mini marshmallows, or coconut flakes.
Tips:
- You can experiment with different types of breadsticks, such as cinnamon-flavored or savory varieties, for a fun twist.
- If you’re in a rush, you can use store-bought breadsticks, or even make your own homemade versions if you have the time.
- For a healthier option, consider using dark chocolate Nutella or omitting the candy sprinkles for a more natural, less sugary treat.
