Crepes are the very famous french pancakes which are thinner and generally made with wheat flour or all purpose flour . They are served with variety of filling it can be a simple whipped cream and fruits which would make them a filling dessert to snack on. Chocolate flavored crepes are classic french pancakes which can be also made into a rich dessert by adding some cream and strawberries with some chocolate drizzled. Considering the richness I have omitted the cream and we enjoyed this crepe as a evening snack :). My daughter loved them a lot as she is one chocoholic and a great lover of strawberries so this was like one delicious snack for her.
