Looking for a little something special to share with friends or family? Try these crunchy treats. Remember, there are approximately 20 sheets of dough in each 1/2 pound of filo dough. As long as you are at it, make more! They have a way of disappearing. Multiply by 4 and you should be good to go.
Ingredients:
- 4 sheets phyllo dough
- 1/2 c butter, melted (1/4 lb)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped (more if you dip them as deep as you can and still hold on to them.)
- 1/2 teaspoon shortening
- 1/2 ounce white baking chocolate, melted
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface.
- Brush with butter.
- Cover with a second sheet of phyllo.
- Brush with butter. (Keep remaining phyllo dough covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.)
- Cut phyllo lengthwise in half.
- Cut each half crosswise into five rectangles (4-1/2×2-3/4 in.).
- Tightly roll up rectangles jelly-roll style, starting with a long side.
- Mix sugar and cinnamon.
- Lightly brush sticks with butter.
- Sprinkle with 1-1/2 teaspoons sugar mixture.
- Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake until lightly browned, 3-5 minutes.
- Remove to a wire rack to cool.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- In a microwave, melt semisweet chocolate and shortening.
- Stir until smooth.
- Dip one end of each phyllo stick in chocolate.
- Allow extra to drip off.
