Today, in contrast to yesterday, is a busy day for me. So forgive the underexposed shot. This here's a chocolate turnover...its very simple to do and its great when you've got a bunch of friends over and you need something quick to satisfy the hungry hordes before they tear up the floorboards. I choose to leave out the half sugared and half cocoa powder patterns in favor of just sugaring the whole side (More sugar for me!)
Chocolate Turnovers Ingredients: ½ package puff pastry 3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk Assorted bite-sized chocolate (the better quality the better it'll taste)[but if you're like me as long as its chocolate it won't matter =D] Icing sugar Cocoa powder
Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 400F. Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to form a 12-inch square (it should be approximately 1/16" thick). Brush away excess flour. 2. Cut pastry into 3" squares and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. 3. Pour milk or cream into a small bowl and brush two adjacent edges of each square with it. Place a piece of chocolate just below the centre of each square and fold down the unwashed corners to enclose the chocolate (forms a triangle). Gently but firmly press down to seal. 4. Freeze for 20 minutes (or until chilled) and then brush with remaining milk wash. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 15 - 20 minutes. 5. Allow to cool completely. While covering one half of turnover, sift icing sugar and or cocoa powder over other half. Serve.
Enjoy!

@objectif-plume: Hahaha I apologise for causing you to feel hunger =D I'm glad you enjoyed it...it wasn't a particularly good shot admittedly. It does not not do the dish full justice. But I was rushing to make it for my friend and her mom so I didn't have time to get the shot right =S
Chocolatey stuff! My kind!

@Jen: Hi Jen! You're most welcome =D glad you enjoyed it.
They look delicious and I would love to cook them but I don't have an oven. Here in Japan many people only use a small oven toaster to cook things

@Darren: Hmm I'm not sure how to work those...but you could probably experiment...the key is to just get them crispy but not burnt...so once they puff up let it go for about a minute and you'll be fine =D. Glad you enjoyed it!
A very appetizing photo !
