I was EXCITED when I saw this month’s Daring Baker’s Challenge. Meetak of What’s for Lunch Honey and Tony of Tony Tahhan were our hostesses this month and they picked, Sugar Daddy Pierre Herme’s Chocolate Eclairs. After this challenge, I should be saying, my new sugar daddy’s sinfully chocolate eclairs! WOW!
I have been itching to make chocolate eclairs since I saw the French edition of Gourmet a few months back and have not had a chance or a reason to make them; after all, it is the LAST thing we need laying around our house!!! I knew I had to make them before heading out for vacation and lucky for me, the perfect opportunity came up, dinner at W & E’s house. I knew the MEM would appreciate a little chocolate in their lives…….
The recipe (I will post upon my return) was very straightforward and incredibly easy. I did not have time to get creative and mix up flavors, so I kept to the recipe with the exception of using half bittersweet and half unsweetened chocolate, which gave it a very rich and sinful taste. As well, I opted out of frosting the tops, and just drizzled the glaze over them. What was the verdict? What was the end result? Need you really ask!
