• Add some of the chocolate on top of each square of strawberries and fold the corners together to form a triangle. Press the edges together gently to seal making sure you don't leave any holes so the goodies won't leak out.
• Cut a slit on top of the triangle to let the steam out. Brush with the egg mixture and sprinkle with the sugar.
