chocolate drip off. Make a large supply, because they will go fast.

 This is one of my most favorite childhood desserts; cannolis.

sprinkles. They were incredibly good. Included in this updated recipe are tips of the
trade from many of our momscooking members on ways to make the shells better and to keep
your filling from being runny.
