I worked at Arby's during parts of high school and college. We got half priced food all the time and many of the guys I worked with would order full meals at 9pm when they finished their shift. I've rarely in my life eaten a whole meal that late but I also couldn't stomach the idea of eating more of the food I had been surrounded by for hours. They didn't sell chocolate turnovers back when I worked there but if they did, I would have probably been buying them all too often (so it's really good they didn't). We always get Arby's for our anniversary date at the drive-in and I always got a chocolate turnover (until they apparently stopped selling them this year!). So it's a good thing I can make my own that are just as good, if not better. We might be selfish parents but we don't share these with Luke. I don't think he'd appreciate them enough, also each batch makes 4 and 4 divides by 2 by easier than by 3. Sorry, dear son. I'll give you some fruit snacks and you'll be almost as happy.
{4) Ingredient Nutella Turnovers
yield: 4 turnovers
Ingredients
-1/2 box Puff Pastry
-Nutella
-powdered sugar
-1 egg
Directions
1) Thaw puff pastry according to box instructions.
2) Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat (definitely worth buying if you bake often!).
3) Cut one pastry sheet into 4 pieces. Spread Nutella on half of each piece and then fold the rest over. I like the look of the triangle turnovers (pictured above) but the ones folded like a hot dog bun were easier to eat.
4) Beat 1 egg with 1 TB of water in a small bowl and spread over the top of pastries with a pastry brush.
5) Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. They will puff up quite a bit (hence the "puff pastry" name). Sprinkle with powdered sugar after removing from the oven.
We store these airtight at room temperature...but they never last long anyways.
