Cupids Pillows

If you are like my husband and myself, you might have put Valentine's Day off for a bit. Just the "getaway" thing. He made me dinner last night so it was still nice but we didn't really go all out. Now this dessert is definitely a way to go ALL out! Cupids Pillows sound so good that you can make them for any special occasion, not just Valentine's Day!

INGREDIENTS

1 pkg. (17.3 oz.) puff pastry sheets (2 sheets), thawed
1 egg white
3/4 cup good-quality semi-sweet chocolate chunks
2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries, pitted cherries, or chopped strawberries (or a mixture)

DIRECTIONS

Roll a single puff pastry sheet into about a 16" square.
Brush pastry lightly with egg white.
Cut pastry sheet into sixteen 4"x4" squares.
Place about 1 tsp. chocolate and one or two raspberries in center of each square.
Fold to form a triangle and press firmly on both edges with a fork or pastry crimper to seal.
Prick the centre of the pastry with a fork
Repeat with remaining pastry sheet, chocolate and raspberries.
Put filled pastries onto large un-greased sheets. Freeze 30 minimum minutes.
Pastries can be fully frozen individually at this point and sealed in a heavy-duty bag for later use.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Bake 17 min. or until puffed and golden.
