These were really great. My daughters loved the chocolate pikelets with strawberry jam and a little whipped cream. We often have reguar pikelets but haven't tried a chocolate version before. A simple budget conscious dessert or even a quick chocolate fix when you cant be bothered going shopping as this recipe uses pantry staples.

Wonderful topped with jam!! I tried one plain, too; wasn't sweet enough for me. Easy to make, and I agree, so pretty!

These are delicious little gems as a dessert! I had them with the yogurt, added whipped cream and chocolate syrup. I was sadly out of jam. I know that would have topped it off well though! Definetly a dessert as stated. I tried to eat them as a breakfast with syrup, tried one plain, and well...that just doesn't work too good. Let me add that it was a pretty little dessert!
