Chocolate and Nutella wrapped in buttery (and store-bought) puff pastry … shouldn’t EVERY morning start this way?
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Stir together 1 cup chocolate chips and the Nutella.
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.
With a fork, whisk together the egg and water. Using your finger, apply the egg wash to 2 adjacent sides of each square.
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.
(There will be some of this mixture leftover. What happens in the kitchen, stay in the kitchen.)
Brush the top of each turnover with egg wash. Sprinkle with the slivered almonds. Bake for 15 minutes.
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.
Remove the turnover from the oven and place on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
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.

We love these! I discovered this recipe about a month ago, and since then I’ve made them three times already due to requests from my husband. Thanks!
I just made these again and they are so easy and so yummy!! My office has been begging me to make them for a long time so they will be happy campers tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe!

These were so good. They were a little too sweet for me for breakfast; I enjoyed them much more as a dessert. (However, my husband enjoyed them in the mornings for his breakfast with a big cup of coffee.) Next time I make them, I think I will add a little more Nutella and a little less chocolate chips so we can have a little more hazelnut flavor.

Oh my goodness, these were simple (albeit my kitchen is a mess) and so yummy!! I think next time I will just go ahead and make both sheets of puff pastry because I had so much extra stuff left over. Oh, and a word to the wise, don’t wear long sleeves when icing the turnovers. My sleeve has lots of chocolate spots on it!!!

I made these on Christmas morning and again on the 27th when my stepsons got here. Actually my 12 year old stepson pretty much did everything. They were SOOOOOO good and easy to make!! Everyone loved them. Thanks so much Bridget for the recipe!!
