26. Touchdown Turnovers

Makes: 15 servings

Prep: 30 mins

Bake: 15 mins to 20 mins

Cool: 10 mins

Ingredients:

2 cups packaged biscuit mix

1/2 cup flaked coconut

1/2 cup milk

3/4 cup flaked coconut

1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk

15 milk chocolate football candies, unwrapped

Nonstick cooking spray

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

1/3 cup milk chocolate pieces

1/2 teaspoon shortening

Directions:

In a large bowl stir together biscuit mix and the 1/2 cup coconut. Add milk all at once. Using a fork, stir just until moistened and forms a soft dough.

Turn dough out onto a surface lightly floured with biscuit mix. Knead dough by folding and gently pressing dough for 10 strokes or just until dough holds together. Pat or roll dough to a 15x9-inch rectangle.

Cut into 15 (3x3-inch) squares. In a small bowl, combine the 3/4 cup coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Spoon 1 rounded teaspoonful of coconut mixture onto center of each square; top with chocolate football. Fold dough in half to form a triangle. Place triangles on a large baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Press edges together with a fork to seal. Brush turnovers with melted butter.

Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place chocolate pieces and shortening in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50 percent power (medium) for 1 to 2 minutes or until chocolate is melted and smooth, stirring every 30 seconds. Cool slightly. Transfer chocolate to a resealable plastic bag. Cut off tip of one corner of bag. Drizzle melted chocolate over turnovers. Makes 15 turnovers.

HOT TIP:

If you can’t find chocolate football candies, sprinkle chocolate pieces atop the coconut mixture in place of the football candy.
