I know these look intimidating but they really aren't that hard to make, and they taste so good fresh. For an even easier finish just dust them with icing sugar or leave off the garnish altogether.
Cream Puffs
1 c. boiling water
1/2 c. margarine
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. flour
4 eggs
whipped cream
Combine water, margarine and salt in a medium saucepan, stir to melt margarine and bring to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir vigorously until it forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each is added. Drop by spoonful's onto greased baking sheet (leave room for them to expand). Bake at 425 for 30 minutes. (They should look dry) When cool you can either pipe whipping cream into each puff or cut off the tops and fill with whipping cream.
To garnish: you can melt chocolate in microwave and drizzle on top, dust with icing sugar or enjoy them as they are.
