Ingredients
- 1 package phyllo dough, defrosted
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1 package (7 oz) almond paste
- 1 tablespoon Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 tablespoon chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup almond slices
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or lightly butter sheet.
- While working with phyllo, keep it well wrapped to prevent drying out.
- Cut phyllo into 1 1/2-inch wide lengthwise strips. Melt butter and brush a very thin layer onto each strip.
- At one end, place a generous teaspoon of almond paste. Top with about 4-5 chocolate chips and a sprinkle of sugar.
- Fold filling over in a 45-degree angle to create a triangle and keep folding over and over continuing the triangle shape.
- Place on cookie sheet. Continue until all are used.
- Brush triangles with egg white and then top with a few almond slices and a sprinkle of sugar.
- Place in oven for approximately 22 minutes or until edges are golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Best served warm.
