Chocolate-Dipped Phyllo Sticks Recipe

Prep: 35 min. Bake: 5 min./batch

Yield: 10 Servings

35 5 40

Ingredients

4 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon shortening
1/2 ounce white baking chocolate, melted

Directions

Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface; brush with butter. Cover with a second sheet of phyllo; brush with butter. (Keep remaining phyllo dough covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.)
Cut phyllo in half lengthwise. Cut each half into five 4-1/2-in. x 2-3/4-in. rectangles. Tightly roll each rectangle from one long side, forming a 4-1/2-in.-long stick. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Coat sticks with cooking spray; sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.
Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 3-5 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining phyllo dough, butter and cinnamon-sugar.
In a microwave, melt semisweet chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip top half of phyllo sticks in chocolate; allow extra to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Drizzle with white chocolate. Yield: 20 sticks.

I made these for my church after-service coffee hour - everyone LOVED them!

I made 12 dozen of these for a Christmas Cookie Exchange. They were very good!! Easy just time consuming. I did change it up a bit after a few dozen. Instead of sprinkling the sugar/cinnamon on top after rolled, I put it on the second sheet then rolled them. They had a much better flavor!!!!
