Banana And Chocolate Triangles Recipes

Steps:

• Peel and cut the bananas in half crosswise, so that you have 8 pieces. Place peeled bananas on sticks. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Place bananas on the cookie sheet in the freezer, keep them in there as long as possible, at least 10 minutes. Heat chocolate bits with butter in a double boiler over low heat until the chocolate melts and butter is incorporated. Dip the chilled bananas in chocolate and roll with your favorite topping. Chill or freeze until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Thaw phyllo sheets; melt butter. In a bowl, combine bananas, sugar, and chocolate.
• Lay 1 phyllo sheet on a clean work surface. Brush with butter; sprinkle with sugar. Top with another sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo, brushing each sheet with melted butter as you stack them.
• Form 4 triangles: Cut dough into strips with a sharp knife; place filling at one end, leaving one corner empty. Fold corner of dough over filling. Continue folding, alternating corners, making sure no filling spills out the sides. When you reach the end, trim excess dough from triangle with knife. Brush surface with butter.
• Bake on a baking sheet until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly; serve.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in brown sugar and 1 dash of cinnamon. Mix well until bubbles start to appear. Add banana; cook, stirring gently, until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer banana to a bowl; roughly slice into 1/4-inch chunks using a spoon. Let filling cool briefly.
• Whisk water and flour together in a small bowl to make the paste. Mix white sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon together in another small bowl.
• Lay 1 lumpia strip on a flat work surface. Place 3/4- to 1 teaspoon of filling in the lower corner of the wrapper; fold 1 corner over the filling and enclose, forming a triangle. Fold over the other edges to finish the triangle, smearing the last fold with the paste to seal. Place triangle on a plate, seam-side down. Repeat with remaining wrappers, filling, and paste.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the triangles in batches until golden brown, about 4 minutes per batch. Drain on a paper towel and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the warm triangles.

Steps:

• Break up 4 ounces of chocolate into 1/2-ounce pieces. Set aside.
• In a food processor, finely grind the remaining chocolate with the sugar.
• Lay 8 sheets of filo out on top of each other.
• Place one sheet lengthwise on the work surface. Keep the remaining sheets covered with a damp towel.
• Brush the sheet with some melted butter. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the sugar mixture. Place a second sheet over the sugared sheet. Butter the second sheet and sprinkle with the sugar mixture. Add 2 more sheets, buttering and sprinkling between each.Cut the filo horizontally into 4 even strips. Starting at the left side of one of the strips, place a 1/2-ounce piece of chocolate 2 inches from the end. Fold the filo that is to the left of the piece of chocolate over the chocolate toward the back side of the strip, making a 3-inch triangle. The left end of the filo should be even with the back edge. Fold the piece of chocolate to the right, over itself, retaining the triangular shape. Fold the chocolate piece toward the front edge of the strip. Continue wrapping the chocolate, alternating the direction with each fold, until you get to the end. (It is like folding a flag.) Wrap the other strips in the same manner.
• With the remaining sheets, make 4 more chocolate-filled triangles.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the triangles on the baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Thaw 6 phyllo sheets; melt unsalted butter. In a bowl, bananas, sugar and chocolate chunks.
• Lay 1 phyllo sheet on a clean work surface. Brush with butter; sprinkle with sugar. Top with another sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo.
• Forming Triagles; Brush each sheet with melted butter as you stack them. Cut into strips with a sharp knife. Place filling at one end, leaving one corner empty (bottom left). Fold corner of dough over filling (left). Continue folding, alternating corners, making sure no filling spills out the sides. When you reach the end, (top right), trim excess dough from triangle with knife. Brush with butter.
• Bake in a baking sheet until golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Cool slightly, serve.

Steps:

• In a microwave, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. Stir in wafer crumbs and pecans. Transfer to a greased, foil-lined 8-in. square pan. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm., Using foil, lift chocolate out of pan. Discard foil; cut into 32 triangles. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Combine tuna, cheese, and dressing.
• Separate crescent dough into four rectangles.
• On an ungreased baking sheet, press each rectangle to about 4" x 8".
• Cut each rectangle in half to form eight squares.
• Mound tuna mixture on a diagonal half of each square, leaving a border around the filling.
• Fold dough squares i n half to form triangles.
• Press edges with fork to seal, and cut a slit in the top (or some type of air hole).
• Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 14 to 16 minutes until golden brown.
• If desired, add chopped peppers, onion, celery, or olives to filling.

Steps:

• Turn large baking sheet upside down. Cover tightly with foil. Mark 12x9-inch rectangle on foil. Stir bittersweet chocolate in medium metal bowl set over saucepan of barely simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water) until mixture is melted and candy thermometer registers 115°F. Remove from over water. Spoon 2 tablespoons melted chocolate into small metal bowl; set aside. Pour remaining melted chocolate onto marked rectangle on foil. Using icing spatula, spread chocolate to fill rectangle. Refrigerate while making peanut butter filling.
• Stir chopped white chocolate and peanut butter constantly in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat until mixture is melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Mix in chopped nuts. Cool mixture to barely lukewarm, about 10 minutes. Pour over bittersweet chocolate. Working quickly, spread to coat bittersweet chocolate completely. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup chopped brittle. Chill until very firm, about 20 minutes.
• Stir milk chocolate in medium metal bowl set over saucepan of barely simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water) until chocolate is melted and candy thermometer registers 115°F. Remove from over water. Pour chocolate over brittle, spreading quickly to cover. Sprinkle with 1 cup brittle. Rewarm reserved 2 tablespoons bittersweet chocolate over simmering water, stirring until warm. Dip spoon in chocolate and drizzle lines over brittle. Chill bark until firm enough to cut, about 20 minutes.
• Lift foil with bark onto work surface. Cut crosswise into 5 approximately 2-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip crosswise into 4 sections and diagonally into 2 triangles. (Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Chill in airtight container. Let stand at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour before serving.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F degrees.
• Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl, combine cheeses, egg, green onion and pepper; set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out half the puff pastry to a 10 inch square. With a sharp knife, cut pastry into 9 even squares, repeat with other half of puff pastry.
• Working with one square at a time, place a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the middle of each pastry square; brush edges very lightly with water, then fold one corner over to meet the opposite corner, forming a triangle.
• Press edges together to seal, then crimp firmly shut with the tines of a fork.
• Place triangles on baking sheet; brush the tops with the second beaten egg.
• Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until the tops are golden and the bottoms are nicely browned.

Steps:

• Combine sugar, evaporated milk, cocoa and cornstarch in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Cook until sugar dissolves and mixture is thick (about 3 minutes), stirring frequently.
• Remove from heat and stir in coffee liqueur.
• Set aside to cool.
• When chocolate mixture is cool, combine with cake cubes in a large bowl.
• Mix 2 crushed candy bars in with cake mixture.
• Beat milk and pudding mix at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended.
• Stir into cake mixture.
• Cover and chill for 15 minutes in refrigerator.
• Spoon half of cake mixture into a trifle dish or large bowl (about 4 quart).
• Arrange half of bananas evenly over cake mixture and top with half of cool whip.
• Repeat layers, ending with cool whip.
• Sprinkle with remaining toffee bar.
• Chill for 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the tbsp of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and saute until translucent.
• Add the spinach to the pan and cover, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Remove from heat and drain in a strainer.
• Add the spinach mixture, tofu, salt, pepper, oregano and lemon juice to a mixing bowl. Toss to blend evenly.
• Heat the rest of the oil in a small sauce pan over medium heat for a few minutes. Remove from heat.
• On a dry cutting board lay down the first piece of phyllo dough. Lightly brush with a little oil and fold in half lengthwise. Place a spoonful (about 2 tbsp) of the mixture onto the bottom section of the dough. Take the bottom left corner and fold it over the mixture, mooshing it to make it line up with the edges of the dough. Make sure to keep a little bit of space between the mixture and the edge of the dough.
• Brush the part of the dough that is folded over the mixture with oil, and fold that section over again, the way you would fold a flag, so it makes a triangle. Keep brushing the dough lightly with oil before every fold and at the end to get the remaining edges to stick to the triangle. When you are done, you should have a 4ish inch long triangle pocket. Place on a cookie sheet and poke once with a fork to let steam out.
• Repeat this with the sheet of phyllo dough until all of the mixture is used up.
• Cook in a 425F oven for 10-20 minutes, until golden brown and flaky all over.
• If you would like a dipping sauce for the spanakopita, whisk the juice of 2 lemons into a bowl with 1/2 c olive oil and add some minced garlic.
