HOW TO MAKE POCKY
Ingredients:
(Glico Salad Sticks are non-vegetarian. They have chicken & pork extract in them)
and/or
Italian bread sticks
bittersweet chocolate chips
white chocolate chips
milk chocolate chips
butterscotch
(peanut butter chips don't work)
OR
dipping chocolate*
PLUS
crushed nuts, crushed candy etc.
Lots of paper or plastic tablecloths to cover tables on which you work
wax paper and/or coated paper plates
Melt the chips (microwave works - just stir half way through)
Put the melted chips into a container tall enough to dip in sticks and coat them at least half way up (such as 7 oz hot cups)
Dip the sticks into the chocolate (leaving one end dip-free)
Coat the sticks according to preference
Lay wax paper or coated paper plates to cool
*Make dipping chocolate by mixing 2 T of butter or shortening to 12 oz of melted chips. Makes it easier to dip.
**Do not use extract to flavor chips. Extract causes chocolate to seize.
