Ingredients

  • 4 sheets phyllo dough (14x9-inch size)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Cooking spray
  • 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon shortening
  • 1/2 ounce white baking chocolate, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Place 1 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 lengthwise in half; cut each half crosswise into 5 rectangles (4-1/2x2-3/4 in.). Tightly roll up rectangles jelly-roll style, starting with a long side.
  2. Mix sugar and cinnamon. Lightly coat sticks with cooking spray; sprinkle with 1-1/2 teaspoons sugar mixture. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned, 3-5 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  3. In a microwave, melt semisweet chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip 1 end of each phyllo stick into chocolate; allow extra to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Drizzle with white chocolate.
