Chocolate-Raspberry {Mini} Turnovers (Makes 12 Turnovers)

(recipe from Woman's Day)


Ingredients:

12 sheets of filo dough (each about 14 x 9 in.), thawed if frozen

1 bar(s) (3.5 oz) chocolate truffles (18 pieces)

Fresh raspberries (about 1/2 pint)

Directions

Heat oven to 375°F.

Unfold the filo and cover it with plastic wrap to prevent drying.

Remove 1 sheet of filo and lightly coat it with a non-stick spray or brush on melted butter.

Fold the sheet of filo in thirds lengthwise.

Lightly spray or brush the top with melted butter.

Place 1 piece of chocolate about 1/2 in. from the bottom end of the strip; top with 1 raspberry. 

Fold the lower right corner over the filling, forming a triangle. Continue folding triangles to the other end of the strip. 

Place on baking sheet. Repeat with the other sheets of filo to make 12 mini-turnovers.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden. Remove to a wire rack to cool. 

Melt the remaining 6 pieces of chocolate in the microwave; drizzle over turnovers.

Then indulge in the warm chocolate raspberry goodness while celebrating surviving motherhood one more year!
