10 ServingsPrep: 35 min. Bake: 5 min./batch

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.
