I have to apologize for my being a crappy blogger recently. Normally I do my writing on the weekend, but I literally haven’t been in town for the past 3 weekends for various reasons. I promise to be better.
One of my weekend adventures recently was a trip to NYC to see the other Pretty Girls. I was also in town for a job conference, but that was just a flaming disaster of doom, luckily that night, I had our Pretty Girls party to look forward to. Each of the other girls had figured out what they were going to make (all of which was amazing) so I decided to throw down some dessert since we didn’t have anything sweet yet. I had looked up some recipes and came across a Giada recipe for chocolate hazelnut ‘ravioli’. As we Pretty Girls do, I tweaked it a little bit and ended up with something really delicious if not absurdly decadent.
You will need:
1 pkg egg roll wrappers
1 jar Nutella (I used the fair trade version because it is just as good, more ethical, and it was the only kind that WholeFoods carried)
1 container of marscapone
Vegetable oil for frying
cinnamon sugar
1 egg- beaten
This is ridiculously easy:
Heat the oil in a pan to 350 degrees. The oil should be about 2″ deep. In a medium bowl, mix together the Nutella and marscapone. Once that is mixed, take the egg roll wrappers and cut them into quarters so you have four smaller squares. Brush the edges of the square with the egg and put a small dollop (I hate that word) of the filling in the center. Fold the wrapper corner to corner to form a triangle. Press the edges to seal them. Make sure you really seal them, because I didn’t press hard enough on some of them and some of the filling oozed out into the oil. Fry each piece for about 30 seconds on each side until they puff up and turn golden brown. Pull them out and cool them on a paper towel. Once they have cooled a little sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar. Then eat the crap out of them until they are gone 
.
These were a great addition to a great night. Now if only I didn’t live to far away from the rest of the girls, we could do it more often…
FINALLY!!!!!!! We have been waiting with drooling mouths for words of this get together!! I am so glad my second daughter decided to take the ball and run….hint hint Josie! These sound wonderful. Wish I lived closer so maybe I could get in on one of these times!!!=)
These were so tasty! I could have eaten them all! It was so nice to meet you and I hope all is well with the job search and such!
Every day I eye the wonton wrappers still in my freezer, and the jar of Nutella on my counter (I bought more) and every day, I think about how I’m gonna make me some more Nutella wontons.
Or heck, any other kind of wontons. Basically I just like frying stuff.
I miss you, please come back soon!!!!!
