Chocolate filled beignets

Something wonderful happens when you add chocolate to an already decadently sweet pastry. It becomes even more delicious and decadent! Luckily, I have been making these in small batches of two per person, or you can bet we would have eaten more!

So in a previous post, I made beignets. Today, I made beignets filled with chocolate. Just roll out some brioche dough and cut to size. Then fill with semisweet morsels, seal them like packages, then fry 'em up! They are ready when brown on both sides. Yum!

You can find a great recipe for brioche dough in Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. Great book!
