Chocolate Dipped Madeleines #SundaySupper BigBearsWife.com

A challenge ..a challenge to step out of my “I know exactly what I’m doing” comfort zone and try something new. That’s what this week’s #SundaySupper theme was about. Try something new, something you’ve never made, that was what we needed to do this week.

So that’s what I did. I made something that I had never made before. I made Madeleines. Not only did I make Madeleines for the first time this week, I also decided to make them for the first time with my 4 year old baking assistant. haha.

This challenge ,that I was a bit worried about, turned out to be one of the easiest things to make and one that my 4 year old niece almost completely did by herself. Ok well, she didn’t make them alone. I was there to instruct, measure and bake, but she did do a lot of the mixing, egg cracking and folding on her own.

Let me tell you something, my 4 year old niece can crack an egg perfectly. No shell in the bowl and no mess.

She was so proud of her “cookies”

Chocolate Dipped Madeleines #SundaySupper BigBearsWife.comI had my first Chocolate Dipped Madeleine when I worked at the Starbucks in Jacksonville, NC.  Perfect spongy texture, with a pop from the chocolate. I was hooked.

I fell in love with them pretty quickly but never even attempted to make them at home. Years later I bought a  Madeleine baking sheet, only to have it sit in my baking drawer for two years without being used.

I had never even looked up the directions for Madeleines, as I had just assumed that they were complex to make. After a little investigation and testing, it turns out that I was wrong. These little Madeleines are incredibly easy to make.

If my 4 year old niece can make them, anyone should be able too.

For these Madeleines, I dipped the cooled Madeleine into melted milk chocolate.

I topped some of them with health bar toppings.

    Beauty-full, Angie! I’ve Pinterested your lovely creations (well you and your niece’s cookies) onto my World’s Best Cookies. You’ve inspired me to dig out the Madeline pan and do a chocolate / Heath Bar dip!

    I´m glad you finally tried these Angie, they are simple yet so sophisticated at the same time. Dipping and sprinkling them was the best idea! And it keeps them moister, which is always the challenge. Gorgeous cakes!

    Those are just precious, Angie, as is your niece! I have two sets of madeleine pans, normal sized and tiny and, yet, I hardly ever make them. I need rectify that, if only so I can dip them in chocolate and cover them in toppings like yours. Beautiful!

    Angie, your niece is gorgeous and so mature! All I ever did was make a horrific mess in the kitchen when I was her age. Your madeleines are gorgeous – the chocolate dip is so smooth and perfect, and I love the different toppings. Wonderful photos and styling too.

    Madeleines are on my kitchen bucket list, too. I have a 2-year-old niece, so hopefully in a few years I can have the same adventure with her. I’ll buy that madeleine pan now, just in case. Maybe it’ll just sit in a drawer for a few year, like yours 🙂

    These are so fun! Great job stepping out of your comfort zone. You know, I used to do that more before I had a food blog. Now I need things to turn out so that I don’t have to test them as much and can move onto photos and editing and writing. It means that I don’t challenge myself as much. But I’m going to give myself a challenge soon. Thanks for the inspiration!
