Chocolate Dessert Help?!
Answers:
You can buy chocolate straws at Walmart or Fred Myers or any other grocery store. I have made chocolate straws before, they're rather difficult. I dunk a normal straw into melted chocolate. Its really hard though because it crumbles ALOT. But It's worked for me plenty of times. If it doesnt work, yeah, I'd just buy them at a store(:

2 tablespoons sugar
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 tablespoon Cointreau
Directions
Melt the chocolate over a bain-marie until smooth. Beat the egg whites to soft peaks, sprinkle the sugar, and continue beating to a stiff meringue, a minute or two longer.

Whisk the chocolate into the yolks. Fold in a spoonful of the whites into the chocolate mixture. Pour the chocolate into the remaining whites and fold gently to combine evenly. Pour the mousse into a serving bowl. Wrap well with plastic, and refrigerate at least a few hours. Serve garnished with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and a little orange zest.
