Daring Baker Challenge - Chocolate Eclairs

One of the things I REALLY love about the Daring Baker Challenge is that I get to use the challenge as an opportunity for friends and family to get together. This month three of my best friends in the whole wide world came over to my parent's house in Virginia Beach, VA and cooked. I have such a good time with those girls (and baking too!!!!).

This month's challenge was chocolate eclairs. YUM! I think everyone liked the eclairs, but we did find that the next morning they were especially tasty!!! :)

This is Heather making the eclair dough.

Jess trying to get an early taste of the eclairs!


Alli :)


So we made a *little* booboo and burnt some of the chocolate filling.... almost ruined a pot! :)



another picture of the burnt chocolate!


before it was burnt, Jess wanted a lil taste


The eclair's fresh out of the oven. YUM!


Scout (my god-dogger) came over to help cook too!






YUM! They sure were tasty!


My dad was sneaking another eclair!





This was a fun challenge. I love sharing my love of food with my friends and family.

I can't wait until next month to get to do it again!
