Chocolate Filo Purse

I've been baking up a storm here, getting ready for my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary in the Black Hills, I will soon share all the recipes I make with you, but first it would be best for them to be baked, most won't be baked until the day of the event, so there either in the fridge of freezer patiently waiting for now.

I did however bake a few of the Chocolate Filo Purse's to see how they baked up and how chocolaty and tasty they would be as I have never baked with filo dough before. They're good, real good!

Chocolate Filo Purse


Here's what you'll need:
A box of Filo Dough
6 tbsp unsalted butter
Chocolate, I used semi-sweet, but bittersweet, milk, or dark chocolate would be just as good, I think butterscotch would be good too, or even a square of carmel.

Here's what you'll do:
~Unroll the filo dough and place a lightly damp rag over them so as you working with other the pile of them does not dry out.
~Melt butter
~Take one sheet of dough and brush it with butter, repeat two more times, giving you 3 layers of dough and butter

~Cut dough length wise down the middle and twice the other way, creating 6 square.
~Add an ounce of chocolate, I used chips, and bring corners together and give them a squeeze and twist a bit so they create a bit of a "purse".

~Bake on 350 fr 10 minutes or until golden brown, allow to cool a bit before serving {chocolate will burn you tongue, trust me, I know ;-) }



With one roll of Filo I was able to make 35 (I think, I counted at 28 then finished the roll, but didn't make too many after, so that's a guesstimate)
