Recipe - Chocolate-Filled Filo Triangles

6 ounce Bittersweet chocolate
One half cup Granulated sugar
8 Sheets filo; defrosted
8 tablespoon Unsalted butter(1 stick);
melted

EQUIPMENT
An 11 by 17inch baking
tray, lined with parchment
paper

Break up 4 ounces of chocolate into 1/2ounce pieces. Set aside. In a food
processor, finely grind the remaining chocolate with the sugar. Lay 8
sheets of filo out on top of each other. Place one sheet lengthwise on the
work surface. Keep the remaining sheets covered with a damp towel.

Brush the sheet with some melted butter. Sprinkle with 1 One half tablespoons of
the sugar mixture. Place a second sheet over the sugared sheet. Butter the
second sheet and sprinkle with the sugar mixture. Add 2 more sheets,
buttering and sprinkling between each.

Cut the filo horizontally into 4 even strips. Starting at the left side of
one of the strips, place a 1/2ounce piece of chocolate 2 inches from the
end. Fold the filo that is to the left of the piece of chocolate over the
chocolate toward the back side of the strip, making a 3inch triangle. The
left end of the filo should be even with the back edge. Fold the piece of
chocolate to the right, over itself, retaining the triangular shape. Fold
the chocolate piece toward the front edge of the strip. Continue wrapping
the chocolate, alternating the direction with each fold, until you get to
the end. (It is like folding a flag.) Wrap the other strips in the same
manner. With the remaining sheets, make 4 more chocolatefilled triangles.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the triangles on the baking sheet.
Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.
