Cream Puffs

1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs

Bring water, butter and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Add the flour all at once; stir briskly until the mixture leaves the side of the pan and forms a ball.

Remove from heat; let stand for 5 minutes to allow mixture to cool before adding the eggs. Beat well after adding each egg. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny.

Drop dough 3 in. apart onto a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400F for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack. Immediately split puffs open; remove tops and set aside. Discard soft dough from inside. Cool puffs. Fill with 1/3 filling, replace tops and drizzle with chocolate topping.

Yield: 8 servings
