Chocolate Raspberry Hearts

Chocolate, pastry and fruit: all the food groups a woman needs to survive! Ohmygosh this was so yummy. Never mind the fact that I couldn't figure out how to shape it into a heart...Mine are squares and they taste just as good. Doug was kind enough to point out that if I had folded the squares corner to corner and created a triangle, it probably would have been easier to make them into hearts, but I really don't care anymore. It could be a trapezoid for all I care, as long as it tastes delicious.

• 1 can (8oz) Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations refrigerated seamless dough sheet
• 1/3 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
• 24 raspberries
• 2 Tbsp dark chocolate chips
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 Tbsp powdered sugar

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper (I used my Magic Baking Sheets, trust me, you need to get some). Unroll dough sheet, cut into 8 squares. Place squares on cookie sheet. Spoon 2 tsp chocolate hazelnut spread on 1 side of each square. Top each with 3 raspberries and 4 chocolate chips. Fold down over filling, pressing edges to seal. Form each into a heart shape. Brush with egg.

Bake 13-17 minutes or until golden brown.

In a small bowl, mix remaining chocolate hazelnut spread and remaining 1 Tbsp chocolate chips. Microwave uncovered on high 45-60 seconds and stir smooth. Spoon into resealable Ziploc. Seal bag and cut off tiny corner. Sprinkle hearts with powdered sugar. Squeeze bag to drizzle each with chocolate.

NOTES: Before you go laughing at my photos, I am not one for super pretty food presentation. I was tired and just wanted to eat all of these pastries. I didn't use a bag to drizzle the chocolate, I just dripped it with a spoon over the top, hence the globs.

Also, I used frozen raspberries and they worked just fine. If you're like me, you've never heard of these Pillsbury Recipe Creations and have no idea where to find them. I did some research and basically, they are Pillsbury Crescent Rolls without the perforations. Guess who just bought crescent rolls and didn't even bother to roll out the perforations? Yeah, lazy little me. Still worked fine!

As I said before, these are super delicious, but beware, they don't keep well. Due to the moist nature of the raspberry juice and chocolate, make sure they don't start molding after 2-3 days.
