I missed the wooden spoon and it dropped into the bowl.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When dipping the shells into the melted chocolate make sure that you have a large container for dipping.\u00a0 I went immediately to sprinkles (because they make me HAPPY!), but I think that crushed up Oreo&#8217;s or peanuts would be delicious too!\u00a0 You could add peanut butter cups, or crushed Oreo&#8217;s as the toppings as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Try using frozen yogurt and fresh fruit if you&#8217;re looking for a more healthier dessert.\u00a0 Strawberries and bananas would go fabulously with the chocolate shells.\u00a0 There are so many possibilities!!\u00a0 Let me know in the comments section what flavour combination you would like best.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tueGgkeRVYo\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Chocolate Tacos<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>This will make between 6-8 tacos.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Taco Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1\/2 cup powdered sugar<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup cocoa<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon cornstarch<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>2 eggs<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon 2% reduced-fat milk<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/DSC_3915blog.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-5238\" title=\"Chocolate Tacos\" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/DSC_3915blog.jpg\" alt=\"Chocolate Tacos\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/DSC_3915blog.jpg 800w, http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/DSC_3915blog-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div>Fillings\/Toppings:<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>vanilla ice cream<\/li>\n<li>M&amp;M&#8217;s (large and small)<\/li>\n<li>mini chocolate chips<\/li>\n<li>mini marshmallows<\/li>\n<li>chocolate sauce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Procedure:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat oven to 400F. \u00a0<\/li>\n<li>In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine all dry ingredients and mix on low until no white streaks remain. \u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Add milk, vanilla and eggs one at a time, and continue to mix on low until the batter becomes dark brown and shiny.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Line a baking tray with parchment paper, place 2-3 tablespoons of taco batter onto the tray and using the back of a spoon smooth into a round 5&#8243;-6&#8243; circle.<\/li>\n<li>Place into the preheated oven for 5-6 minutes.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Remove and immediately transfer to a wooden spoon that is set over top of the opening of a bowl. \u00a0Allow to cool and harden.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Repeat process until all batter is used up.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Fill tacos will ice cream, and top with desired toppings.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Serve immediately, or place into freezer until ready to serve.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_target addtoany_list\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a class=\"a2a_button_facebook_like addtoany_special_service\" data-href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=5233\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_twitter_tweet addtoany_special_service\" data-count=\"none\" data-url=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=5233\" data-text=\"How to Make Chocolate Tacos\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_google_plusone addtoany_special_service\" data-annotation=\"none\" data-href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=5233\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_pinterest\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/pinterest?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcookiescupcakesandcardio.co%2F%3Fp%3D5233&amp;linkname=How%20to%20Make%20Chocolate%20Tacos\" title=\"Pinterest\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/icons\/pinterest.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Pinterest\"\/><\/a><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nwpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0I thought that I liked tacos before I worked on this chocolate taco recipe.\u00a0 I LOVE tacos now!\u00a0 Especially chocolate tacos . . . with ice cream, and sprinkles, and M&amp;M&#8217;s, and chocolate chips, and marshmallows, and chocolate sauce . . . you get it!
