Chocolate Nutella Turnovers

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2
   Stir together 1 cup chocolate chips and the Nutella.
3. 3
   On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a 12 x 12 inch square. Use a pizza cutter to cut into 9 squares.
4. 4
   With a fork, whisk together the egg and water. Using your finger, apply the egg wash to 2 adjacent sides of each square.
5. 5
   Add 1 heaping tablespoon of the chocolate/Nutella mixture to the middle of each square. Fold over to make triangles and press to seal edges.
6. 6
   (There will be some of this mixture leftover. What happens in the kitchen, stay in the kitchen.)
7. 7
   Brush the top of each turnover with egg wash. Sprinkle with the slivered almonds. Bake for 15 minutes.
8. 8
   Meanwhile, melt the remaining chocolate chips and the shortening in the microwave on 50% power in 30-second intervals. Stir after each interval until melted. Set aside.
9. 9
   Remove the turnover from the oven and place on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
10. 10
    Spoon the melted chocolate into a quart-sized freezer baggie (a storage baggie might burst) and snip a hole in one corner. Squeeze over the turnovers in a decorative pattern.
