How to Make Chocolate Turnovers

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lay one sheet of filo pastry (approximately 14x18 inches), long side facing you, on a flat surface. Keep remaining filo covered with a damp towel and plastic wrap to prevent drying.
  3. Brush the filo sheet lightly with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  4. Top with another sheet of filo and brush with another tablespoon of melted butter.
  5. Repeat with a third sheet of filo, brushing with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
  6. Sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  7. Cut the large filo sheets into 4 equal strips, and the smaller sheets into 2 equal strips.
  8. Spoon a heaping teaspoon (approximately 1 tablespoon) of chocolate chips into the lower corner of each pastry strip.
  9. Fold the other lower corner over the chocolate chips, then fold up and over as you would a flag to create a triangle shape.
  10. Repeat with remaining chocolate chips and pastry strips.
  11. Brush the tops of the turnovers with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
  12. Place pastries on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  13. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  14. Transfer turnovers to a wire rack to cool completely.
  15. While turnovers cool, melt the remaining chocolate chips (1/2 cup) with 1 tablespoon of shortening in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  16. Drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled turnovers.
