These super quick chocolate bar crepes are wonderful to make when you need a decadent, chocolaty treat quickly. They are thin pancakes that are filled with a chocolate bar, which becomes melted and gooey from the residual heat. Served as they are, they can be enjoyed as a sweet breakfast, dessert, or snack whenever you want something that is easy and decadent.
As the title suggests, these super quick chocolate bar crepes come together quickly. All you need to do is make a crepe batter by mixing milk with eggs, sugar, butter, and flour. Then, once you have spooned batter onto a crepe pan and spread it out, you place a chocolate bar on top before folding the sides of the crepe over the chocolate, and allowing it to finish cooking. The resulting crepes can be served as they are or even topped with fresh fruit and whipped cream.
What are Super Quick Chocolate Bar Crepes?
These chocolate bar crepes are inspired by French-style crepes, which are thin unleavened pancakes that can have sweet or savory fillings. They are usually spread out very thinly on a flat crepe pan so that they are perfect circles. This version has a simple chocolate bar filling, which melts inside the crepes, becoming decadent and gooey.
Pro Tips
- Mix the crepe batter with an immersion blender as this will help produce a smooth, lump-free batter.
- If you don’t have a regular crepe pan, you could use a large non-stick frying pan instead.
- If you find that your crepes are becoming too brown as they cook, simply reduce the heat as needed.
- Feel free to use either dark chocolate or milk chocolate for this recipe.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Chocolate is Best for Crepes?
For this easy crepe recipe, dark chocolate works particularly well as it is rich tasting and melts beautifully. However, if you like sweeter chocolate, you could also use semi-sweet chocolate or milk chocolate.
What is the Secret to Good Crepes?
The secret to making really good crepes is to use just enough batter that you can cover the entire surface of your pan, but not so much that they don’t cook through quickly. The crepes should really cook through in seconds so the batter should be quite a thin layer.
Do You Cook Crepes on High or Low Heat?
It is best to cook crepes around medium-low heat which will ensure that they cook through quickly but don’t pick up too much color.
How to Store Super Quick Chocolate Bar Crepes
Leftover crepes can be stored covered with plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. Then, when you intend to reheat them, you can warm them up in the oven, which will re-melt the chocolate.
