Banana Chocolate Triangles

The combination of bananas, chocolate and whipping cream makes for a great end of meal dessert!  Not a light dessert, but definitely a delicious one!  These triangles can be prepared in advance and baked right before serving.

Ingredients:
(makes 8 triangles)
-2 bananas
-2-1/2 tablespoons white rum
-2 tablespoons butter
-2 tablespoons sugar
-16 small chocolate squares
-4 feuilles de brick (I think it's called phyllo pastry in English or use spring roll wrappers).
Instructions:
-Peel the bananas and slice.
-On medium heat melt butter in a fry pan and eventually add the bananas.  Stir often.  Sprinkle the sugar on top and mix well.
-Once the bananas are mush like (approximate 5  minutes) add the rum and let it absorb into the banana mixture.
-Once the rum has absorbed into the banana mixture, let it cool, before making the triangles.
-Follow photo instructions below to make the triangles.  Do not over stuff!
-Bake triangles in the oven at 200 degrees C for 15 minutes or until the exterior is golden and crusty.
-Serve immediately and warm.

Optional:
-Goes great with a scoop of vanilla icecream.
-Decorate with whipping cream and chocolate.

1.  Cut in half.
2. Place the round edge down.











3. Place the mixture (about 1 tbsp) +
2 chocolate squares near top corner.
4. Take the bottom of the pastry and
fold up towards the banana mix.












5. Take the top right corner and fold
down.  This makes a mini-triangle.
6. Take the bottom right corner and fold up
to the top line, making a big triangle.











7. Take the top right corner and fold to the
bottom line, keeping the triangle shape.
8. Take the bottom right corner and fold to
