Maple Leaf Shape Chocolate Croutons Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 inch of canola oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365 degrees F.
• Set up a breading station: Place the flour with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in one baking dish, the eggs in another and the breadcrumbs, panko and another 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a third dish.
• Toss the ravioli in the flour to coat, then in the egg wash and finally in the breadcrumbs so they are fully covered. Add the breaded ravioli to the oil and fry in batches until they are golden in color, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt after frying and add to your favorite salad or soup!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a shallow pan, melt butter slowly. Using your preferred cookie cutter, cut shapes from the white bread and brown in the butter. Be sure to lightly brown both sides. Remove and place croutons on a cookie sheet. Once all shapes are done, place cookie sheet into oven and "dry" thoroughly, making sure that the croutons are no longer soft in the middle. Melt the chocolate in the microwave, according to package instructions, and dip shapes into the chocolate. Place them on a piece of waxed paper to dry.
