What you’ll need:
- 1 package of mostaccioli pasta
- 2 cups of high-quality chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- Optional toppings: sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut
Step 1: Cook the mostaccioli
Begin by boiling a pot of water and cooking the mostaccioli according to the package instructions. You want your pasta to be al dente, as it will provide the perfect texture for the chocolate coating.
Step 2: Prepare the chocolate coating
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each session, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Step 3: Coat the mostaccioli with chocolate
Take each cooked mostaccioli and dip it into the bowl of melted chocolate, ensuring that it is fully coated. Use a spoon or fork to help remove any excess chocolate, allowing it to drip back into the bowl.
Step 4: Add your favorite toppings
If desired, sprinkle your coated mostaccioli with colorful sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut. This step adds an extra layer of texture and flavor to your creation.
Step 5: Allow the chocolate to set
Place your chocolate-coated mostaccioli on a parchment-lined baking sheet or cooling rack. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate hardens.
Step 6: Serve and enjoy!
Once the chocolate has set, your delicious chocolate-coated mostaccioli are ready to be devoured. Serve them at room temperature and enjoy this unique and decadent dessert.
